LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Kroger and the city of Louisville are providing residents with access to fresh food and financial services.
Kroger's Mobile Market travels to neighborhoods that have limited access to food. Phase Three of the program started in April and goes through June.
The mobile market is a small grocery store on wheels that allows customers to board the vehicle and shop for fresh produce and staple food items.
Financial services and information available at the mobile market include free financial counseling from the Louisville Financial Empowerment Center, free tax preparation services from the Volunteer Income Tax Program, access to Bank On Louisville's certified banking products and free financial coaching and counseling for people with disabilities.
"Connecting with folks about their finances in convenient ways are yielding meaningful results," Erin Waddell, Social Service Policy and Advocacy Manager for the Office of Financial Empowerment, said in a news release. "We’ve heard many powerful stories of Mobile Market customers opening Bank On certified accounts or connecting with financial counselors to address issues of credit or debt as a result of our engagement at mobile markets."
According to a news release, the Kroger and Bank On Louisville Food and Financial Access Program is serving four locations this phase with the Zero Hunger Mobile Market. Those locations include:
- Goodwill on Broadway – 909 E Broadway, 40204
