Nevada's first mobile grocery store brings shopping to underserved communities
Las Vegas (KSNV) — The Just One Project has unveiled Nevada's first-ever Mobile Grocery Store, a new initiative to provide nutritious and affordable groceries to Las Vegas food desert residents.
This innovative program is part of the Groceries on the Go initiative, a collaboration with UnitedHealthcare Health Plan of Nevada Medicaid, which has already established three no-cost community markets.
The Mobile Grocery Store, set inside a renovated school bus donated by the Clark County School District, is equipped with refrigeration and storage and offers the amenities of a full-service store.
Powered by the NV Energy Foundation, the store will travel throughout Las Vegas, increasing access to fresh, whole foods for communities with limited options.
A new partnership with the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System will also focus on addressing food insecurity among veterans by improving their access to healthy food.
