Mobile Miracle Market comes to Wheatley

WHEATLEY — The Chatham-Kent Prosperity Roundtable has come up with a project to help residents get the fresh produce they need by introducing the Mobile Miracle Market.

According to representative Phillip Mock, the group is filling a need in Chatham-Kent by giving out the boxes of produce for free and asking folks to ‘give a box, get a box.’

“This helps get fresh produce out to the people of Wheatley,” said Mock. “Especially since there is no grocery store here.”

Volunteers Dava Robichaud and Heather Tulloch display one of the produce boxes available on opening day, Tuesday, September 15 at Wheatley Baptist Church. During the first half hour, 11 people had already stopped and received a box of fresh produce.

The project launched on Tuesday, September 15 and is ongoing every Tuesday at the Wheatley Baptist Church from 10:30-11:30 am.

You can visit their website www.mobilemiraclemarket.com or Facebook page to learn more about the project, sign up to be a volunteer, and stay in touch.

The project runs in the communities of Thamesville, Bothwell, Merlin and Highgate as well.
