What We Do
Ripe Revival Mobile Market mission is to "Revive Communities Through Food." Currently the non-profit works to establish farms and gardens on campuses, provides nutrition education lessons and operates a Mobile Market program. The Mobile Market buses serve communities and make healthy food accessible to all regardless of their budget by operating as a pay-what-you-can grocery store on wheels. The Mobile Market program relies on community partners who sponsor host sites weekly, biweekly or monthly.
Who We Serve
The non-profit is able to serve all communities in Eastern and Northeastern North Carolina but we primarily focus its efforts in Twin Counties, which includes Nash County. All programs are available to all populations, but emphasis is given to low-income populations of all ages and senior adults.
How We Impact
