Evans has announced the launch of the Well Wayne Fresh Truck Mobile Market\, an innovative farmers market on wheels designed to increase access to healthy\, affordable food for residents across Wayne Co unty. The launch comes as food insecurity continues to affect families acr oss Wayne County. According to Feeding America’s 2023 Map the Meal Gap\, 17.6% of Wayne County residents—nearly one in five people—experience food insecurity. While these are the most recent available estimates\, ris ing grocery costs continue to put added financial strain on many household s. Limited transportation\, higher food prices\, and other economic barrie rs can make it difficult to access fresh\, healthy food. Nearly 70% of foo d-insecure Wayne County residents live in households with incomes below 20 0% of the federal poverty level\, a rate higher than the Michigan average. The Well Wayne Fresh Truck Mobile Market is one strategy to help improve access to affordable\, nutritious food in communities where it is needed m ost. The Fresh Truck Mobile Market is part of Well Wayne\, a multi-million -dollar investment in public health infrastructure led by Executive Evans to improve health outcomes by addressing the social drivers of health thro ugh innovative\, community-based partnerships. “These are increasingly u ncertain times we are living in for a number of reasons\, which means it i s incumbent upon those of us who have chosen to be public servants to do w hatever we can to take care of those who are less able to fulfill all of t heir basic needs\,” said Warren C.

Our Well Wayne Fresh Truck Mobile Markets are mobile g rocery stores bringing fresh fruits and veggies directly to neighborhoods in Wayne County — where access is needed most. We understand that mobili ty challenges can make it difficult getting to and from the grocery store and cost can also be a barrier.” said Kennyle Johnson\, Director\, Wayne County Department of Health\, Human and Veterans Services (HHVS).

This initiative will continue serving as a vital connector across Wayne County communities through at least 2027. “The ne w Fresh Truck Mobile Market that is being rolled out throughout Wayne Coun ty as part of the Well Wayne Fresh Food Access Program will be a vital lin k for so many individuals and families who are struggling with transportat ion issues and access to healthy\, fresh and affordable food\,” commente d Wayne County Commission Chair Alisha Bell. “This initiative will go a long way towards helping the community fight hunger\, reduce illness and i mprove overall public health and well-being.” Recognizing that complex s ocietal challenges require collaborative solutions\, Wayne County has part nered withEastern Market Partnership to operate the Fresh Truck Mobile Mar ket throughout the county. “We at Eastern Market Partnership are excited to expand our fresh food access program in partnership with Wayne County.
