The Just One Project is unveiling Nevada’s first-ever Mobile Grocery Store, which will travel throughout Las Vegas, offering nutritious and affordable groceries to residents living in food deserts where access to fresh whole foods is severely limited. The Mobile Grocery Store marks the next stage of an impactful, multi-year long partnership between The Just One Project and UnitedHealthcare Health Plan of Nevada Medicaid, which opened three no-cost community markets and launched the innovative Groceries on the Go Program.
The Mobile Grocery Store also marks a new partnership between the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System (VASNHS) and The Just One Project, that will address food insecurity among veterans by increasing accessibility to healthy food.
Powered by NV Energy Foundation, the Mobile Grocery Store offers all the amenities one would come to expect at a full-service store. Set inside a school bus generously donated by the Clark County School District, the interior has been completely renovated to include refrigeration and storage. Groceries on the Go currently services 11 sites throughout Las Vegas and is expected to expand its service to more communities in 2025.
