Mobile Community Market
Our Mobile Community Market provides fresh, seasonal produce to nourish underserved and low-income individuals and families.
Feeding Our Community
With the help of farm and community partners, we collect and purchase fresh food and staples and then redistribute them to communities with limited access to healthy and nutritious food. FareStart strategically resources food in a variety of ways to minimize the cost for our customers.
Flexible Pay Structure
Customers can access free or discounted produce by using:
- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program/Electronic Benefit Transfer (SNAP/EBT) benefits (coming late spring)
- Washington State Food Assistance Program (WFAP)
- FareStart gift cards
- Credit and debit cards
- FareStart vouchers offered through partnerships with other food security and food recovery organizations
