Since 2017, our Mobile Market has provided under-resourced communities with a reliable source of healthy, local produce at an affordable price. The Mobile Market carries a wide variety of vegetables sourced primarily from our very own farms, Powisset and Appleton. Working closely with community partners for our 2023-2024 season, the Mobile Market is making bi-weekly stops in Roslindale, South Boston, East Boston, Hyde Park, Chelsea, and Chinatown. The Mobile Market offers shares to subscribers who use SNAP/HIP benefits, with an average of 200 shares distributed per month from mid-June 2023 through the end of January 2024.

In addition to the SNAP/HIP shares, The Trustees’ Mobile Market offers home delivery shares, which are delivered to food-insecure households that do not qualify for benefits. These shares are donor-supported and are free for enrolled customers. The East Boston Neighborhood Health Center (EBNHC) identifies participating customers, and we are continuing this program in 2023.

The Mobile Market is expanding its services to offer a more traditional farmers’ market setup, allowing customers to select individual items using their SNAP benefits. The pop-up market locations include the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center (EBNHC) Summer Market, the City of Chelsea, The Dimock Center, Whittier Street Health Center, Roxbury YMCA, and the City of Revere.

We have been sharing recipes with our Mobile Market customers since 2017 as our customers have a strong passion for cooking and obtain a wide range of culinary skills and knowledge. These recipes are truly special as they reflect the customers’ unique backgrounds and cultural heritage, bringing together dishes from all corners of the world with locally sourced produce from our Trustees farms.

In 2022, we forged a partnership with the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center (EBNHC) and gogobytes to support their free cooking classes for elderly residents in East Boston. By providing free produce, they were able to increase the frequency of these classes from monthly to bi-weekly. This not only allowed them to provide more opportunities for seniors to learn and connect through cooking, but also to promote community engagement in a meaningful and impactful way.

The pandemic has continued to highlight social and economic inequality throughout the country, and in Boston, similarly, food insecurity and the need for open space for mental and physical wellbeing are evident, especially in low-income, high-density communities.

The Mobile Market continues to be an important and valued resource, contributing significantly to the food access needs of the communities it serves. This work is only possible through our meaningful partnerships with community-based organizations.
