Veggie Van Brings Affordable, Fresh Food to Communities in Michigan

Share On Social!

What’s one solution to poor access to healthy and affordable foods? Many communities are turning to mobile farmers’ markets.

In urban Michigan neighborhoods throughout Grand Rapids, Muskegon and Ottawa County, a Veggie Van run by the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids is bringing fresh produce to families—and at affordable prices.

Because the Veggie Van is a non-profit organization, it is able to sell fruits and vegetables at wholesale prices, giving the community a cheaper option for fresh produce.

The Veggie Van travels to retirement homes, human services offices and neighborhoods.
