| Solicitation Profile |
| The Mobile Markets Grant Program will fund not-for-profit organizations to establish or expand mobile farmers’ markets and/or pantry infrastructure that carry fresh, locally sourced food for distribution in Central and Eastern Brooklyn. The Residents in low-income areas typically have limited access to healthy food options. These populations can experience higher rates of obesity and diet-related diseases resulting from poor nutrition. In urban areas like Brooklyn, high real estate costs inhibit creation of permanent diversified grocers who have a solid selection of produce. Mobile markets are more flexible and less expensive than constructing and operating full scale grocery stores, and can serve more neighborhoods at a fraction of the cost. Such efforts are funded by a variety of local organizations, private donors, and federal programs, but the need continues to outpace available funding. |
