37-24-065 - Well Wayne Fresh Trucks

The Wayne County Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services (HHVS) is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to implement the Fresh Produce Access Program through the deployment of “Well Wayne Fresh Trucks,”— mobile grocery stores, aimed at combating food insecurity and enhancing access to fresh produce across Wayne County.  Food insecurity affects 13.8% of Wayne County residents, with uneven distribution and limited availability of fresh produce exacerbating the issue. The Well Wayne Fresh Truck program seeks to address this challenge by providing easy access to fresh produce, healthy recipes, and nutrition education. The Well Wayne Fresh Truck initiative aims to promote healthier eating habits and enhance food access in Wayne County by deploying mobile grocery stores to areas that are considered high-traffic and/or food deserts.
