Nourishing Communities On The Move
Our Mobile Food Bank delivers a truck full of free fresh and non-perishable groceries from our warehouse directly to a community site for immediate distribution to residents. There are no eligibility requirements to receive food from our Mobile Food Bank. Anyone can attend.

How It Works
Each location is planned to ensure we meet people where they are, when they need it. Our commitment is simple: to make nutritious food accessible to everyone.
There are no eligibility requirements to receive food from our Mobile Food Bank. Anyone in need of assistance can attend. It’s a good idea to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to distribution time, and bring with you boxes or bags to carry your food.
The Mobile Food Bank program is made possible by a grant from the Stop & Shop Family Foundation.
