Hungry Task Force Mobile Market

The Mobile Market is a grocery store on wheels that travels throughout Milwaukee County to visit neighborhoods and communities that have limited access to fresh and healthy foods. The Mobile Market makes stops daily Monday – Friday in communities throughout the city.

Along with other staples, local grocer Piggly Wiggly stocks the Mobile Market with a healthy selection of fruits, vegetables, milk (dairy and nondairy options), chicken, beef, pork, deli meat, cheese, yogurt and more. The market does not sell canned items or processed foods. The market accepts debit cards, credit cards and Quest EBT. No cash is onboard or accepted. Hunger Task Force FoodShare Outreach staff will help eligible people apply for FoodShare during market operating hours. The market is an active store, not a food pantry or donation center.

All shoppers are welcome on the Mobile Market. Hunger Task Force offers 50% OFF all items on the Mobile Market beyond Piggly Wiggly’s low prices.
