Stark County's non-profit organization has to stop mobile store that offers affordable, healthy options for those who rely on it.
“Our mission is tackling causes of hunger by creating realistic pathways out of poverty. We do it all with a food spin and it’s usually all around food access,” he said.
“We came into work on Monday morning and realized that our fleet of vehicles, which involves our Mobile Grocery Market and our backup delivery and pickup vehicles, all had their catalytic converters missing,” he said. The Mobile Grocery Market is an integral part of the operations. It provides healthy, affordable food to more than 100 customers throughout Stark County, who can’t necessarily make it out to a brick-and-mortar store.
Phillips was upset over the theft, but more upset that he couldn’t get groceries to the people who rely on it throughout the week.
