KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Better food choices are headed to communities across the metro.
It is all part of the Truman Medical Center Healthy Harvest Mobile Market. The mobile grocery stores will travel throughout Kansas City’s urban core on a weekly basis this summer.

There will be nutritionists and dieticians available to help teach people how to eat healthy and new dishes that can be made from fresh produce.

The Jackson County Courthouse (415 East 12th St.)
Lucile Bluford Branch of the Kansas City Public Library (3050 Prospect Ave.)
