At the front of the line, Zelda MGraw is ready to buy some groceries off a bus called the Fresh Moves Mobile Market.
The Urban Growers' Collective — a Black- and women-led non-profit farm in Chicago — runs the initiative by loading buses with fresh produce every weekday and distributing it to 14 stops throughout Chicago. Its customer base has tripled over the last 4 years.
One stop is just steps away from affordable housing for seniors in south Chicago. It's a community of people typically at higher risk of facing food insecurity, according to the USDA.
