In South Jersey, 17.3% of kids face hunger every day

Residents living in Camden can buy fruits, vegetables, cereal, and bread at a reduced price from a grocery store on wheels. The goal of the program at Virtua Health is to help curb food insecurity in the area. The mobile grocery store is the latest addition to the program. It started with this mobile farmers market in 2017.
