What is the Twin Cities Mobile Market?
The Twin Cities Mobile Market is a grocery store on wheels that visits local communities and offers low-cost, healthy foods. As part of this study, the Mobile Market is adding stops!
What are we trying to find out?
Our team wants to know if the Mobile Market changes the foods people eat and buy and if being close to a Mobile Market stop changes their worries about having enough food.
