Market on the Move

Tucsonans love a good deal. And we try not to let food go to waste. And we love to share with our neighbors.

Aptly named MOM (Market On the Move) is the perfect trifecta.

Once a week the AMAZING volunteers put together quite a show and manage to distribute tens of thousands of pounds of food that would have gone to waste. They are always cheerful, and the crowd is patient and thankful.

You GO Tucson, way to feed our peeps!

I volunteer as much as possible while having fun with the gang of folks. I love greeting the drivers as much as possible. Come and try it out

It was awesome getting so much for so little!!

FALSE ADVERTISING!!! I heard about Market on the Move from Instagram @tucsonvillagefarm. They make people believe they are getting up to 60 pounds and they really focus on the 60 but in reality it's not even close to that. I got there today around 8:10am. I had been looking forward to getting lots of vegetables. I waited about 25 minutes. They have a system where you don't get out of your car. You are just in a line of cars and once it's your turn all you do is push the button to open your trunk and they will put the items in for you. So, when I got home I was EXTREMELY disappointed to see a small bag of produce which at MOST weighed 10 pounds. Then I saw another bag full of other items including two chips, Goli vitamins, ice cream cones, and Torani black sugar syrup. Every single item was EXPIRED. Goli vitamins expired 05/2023, Chips 10/2023 and so on. Market on the Move needs to be more honest with people on ALL social media platforms so, people know what to expect. I personally would not have wasted my time going if I knew. At the end of the day I think it's about honestly and transparency. I don't know if this is something that happens every time or if there are times people do get close to 60 pounds of produce but this was my experience. Below are pictures of everything I got.

I received a box of rotten squash it had turned to mush and leaked water all over my living room. I also go moldy bread complete green all the way through. When I brought it to their attention on their Facebook page they blocked me.

Same items as another review listed. I also purchased (2) at 8:00 am this morning. and everything was already expired. Cauliflower and broccoli were moldy. What a waste of $20.
