The Simple Plate: a bookmobile for food - Community Action's Mobile Market

Duluth Community Action/Facebook

It's not often you hear about a community project that really benefits people - but isn't scraping for cash.

A recent influx of state and local funding, plus monies from organizations like Hunger Solutions MN really put some gas in the tank of Community Action Duluth's efforts to get their Mobile Market up and running.

Now folks who don't live close to a grocery store or for whom home delivery is problematic can do their shopping at a "grocery store on wheels."

More information and online ordering from the Mobile Market is available at Community Action Duluth's Mobile Market web page(there's also a version optimized to work with your phone) and on Facebook through the Community Action Duluth page.

Lisa Johnson started her broadcast career anchoring the television news at her high school and spinning country music at KWWK/KOLM Radio in Rochester, Minnesota. She was a reporter and news anchor at KTHI in Fargo, ND (not to mention the host of a children's program called "Lisa's Lane") and a radio reporter and anchor in Moorhead, Bismarck, Wahpeton and Fergus Falls.Since 1991, she has hosted Northland Morning on KUMD. One of the best parts of her job includes "paying it forward" by mentoring upcoming journalists and broadcasters on the student news team that helps produce Northland Morning. She also loves introducing the different people she meets in her job to one another, helping to forge new "community connections" and partnerships.Lisa has amassed a book collection weighing over two tons, and she enjoys reading, photography, volunteering with Animal Allies Humane Society and fantasizing about farmland. She goes to bed at 8pm, long before her daughter, two cats, or three dogs.
