As stated in a previous Foodbank release, the 757 Mobile Markets can hold up to 20,000 pounds of food and serve up to 350 households per day and will be routed through areas of greatest need following a predetermined schedule five days per week. Residents will be able to select from a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, lean protein, low-fat dairy and pantry staples at no cost.
