"Truman Medical Center's Mobile Market offers a chance for people to have easier access to fresh fruit and vegetables.The market is a converted city bus that goes to 11 different sites on Tuesdays and Thursday to offer people a chance to buy everything from bananas and apples to sweet corn and kale.Organizers said that better access to fresh fruit and vegetables may lead people to make better eating choices, perhaps even changing their habits. They said the mobile market allows them to make those options available at a reasonable price.A woman who was shopping there Tuesday said she's a regular, grateful customer.\"I'm trying to get into eating with the season and what's available as far a produce,\" said the woman, who asked to be identified as Nancy.The people who run the bus said children are some of the happiest customers.\"It feels good knowing that these kids are wanting to eat healthy and their parents are encouraging it, too,\" said Kari Bovard, the grocery marketing coordinator for Truman Medical Center.The mobile market targets areas in Kansas City's so-called food desert, where there are no grocery stores and local convenience stores stock more chips than potatoes.The Mobile Market is designed to simply break even, money-wise. Organizers said they just want the community to get good food.\"Our goal is to make sure people can afford the fresh fruits and vegetables,\" Bovard said.The Mobile Market accepts Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program cards, credit cards and cash.
