  • Operation Food Search's St. Louis MetroMarket program launched this week, bringing fresh, affordable food to underserved areas in the St. Louis region.

The St. Louis MetroMarket, launched by the St. Louis Development Corporation and the St. Louis Anchor Action Network, aims to address food insecurity in the city by providing fresh produce and healthy food options in areas classified as food deserts. Located in the city's downtown, the MetroMarket operates as a mobile grocery store, moving to different neighborhoods to serve communities with limited access to fresh foods. The initiative not only focuses on improving food access but also on supporting local farmers and boosting the local economy. The MetroMarket accepts various forms of payment, including SNAP benefits, to ensure affordability and accessibility for all residents. This project is part of a broader effort to enhance the quality of life and health outcomes in underserved areas of St. Louis.
