New MoGro initiative drives access to healthy, affordable food with support from SCAD SERVE Community Fund and Kroger
The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia are delighted to announce the completion of the first mobile grocery store in southeast Georgia. Funded by a $700,000 SCAD SERVE Community Fund grant and operational and product support from Kroger, the new MoGro mobile grocery store will bring healthy, affordable food directly to communities that lack convenient access to traditional grocery stores.
Recently community leaders joined together to unveil the new MoGro, including Savannah Mayor Van Johnson, SCAD president and founder Paula Wallace, Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia CEO Miriam Langley, Tammie Young-Ennaemba, manager of corporate affairs for Kroger’s Atlanta Division, and Vice President for SCAD SERVE Scott Linzey.
“Second Harvest is honored to launch MoGro, a grocery store on wheels, alongside our partners at SCAD and Kroger,” said Langley. “Mo- Gro is the result of a year-long collaborative effort to bring this vision to life. By bringing a mobile grocery store directly into underserved areas, we’re not only improving access to food—we’re creating opportunity, connection, and healthier futures for our neighbors. Together, we are breaking down barriers like distance and transportation to ensure every community has access to fresh, nutritious food.”…
