Fresh Produce on Wheels: Millie Mobile Market Thursday Morning In Molino
October 9, 2024
UPDATE: Millie Mobile Market was unable to make the stop on Thursday, October 10.
The Millie Mobile Market is scheduled to be in Molino Thursday morning with a variety of fresh produce.
During the Molino visit, Millie will offer a menu of fresh produce that includes cabbage, carrots, corn, garlic, onions, oranges, yellow squash, sweet potatoes and zucchini at below-market prices.
Millie travels routes throughout Feeding the Gulf Coast’s Florida service area, addressing pockets of low food access (food deserts) where supermarkets are scarce, to provide community members the opportunity to buy affordable fresh produce and other nutritious foods at a significantly discounted rate. As the program progresses, the Mobile Market aims to become a SNAP-authorized retailer, enabling families to use their SNAP benefits for purchasing nutritious food.
Feeding the Gulf Coast collaborates with local farmers to purchase produce specifically for the Millie Mobile Market.
Millie will be at the Molino Community Center/Molino Branch Library on north Highway 95A from 9-11 Thursday morning. Millie will be in Jay from 9-10 a.m. Friday at the Jay Gazebo Park at Highway 4 and Calfree Street and from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at 14047 Alabama Street.
This week’s menu is below. Debit or credit card only; no cash.

how PITIFUL that my own neighbors will FIGHT to keep out a grocery store of significant size or any sort of growth-as they “wanted to be in the country” Of course they couldn’t do anything hundreds of new homes and no new lanes on bloody 29-but KEEP out progress
wait until they are old, or sick unable to go to a REAL grocery store—so thank you for helping our under cared for area
