SCAD x Second Harvest Launch First Mobile Grocery Store in Savannah
New MoGro initiative drives access to healthy, affordable food with support from SCAD SERVE Community Fund and Kroger
SAVANNAH, GA – March 24, 2026 – 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.
MoGro will visit one location during the first week it is open, March 26 – April 4 (schedule below). On Monday, April 6, 2026, MoGro will be open on a regular four-day-a-week schedule, visiting two locations on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday in different areas of Savannah that have been identified as “food deserts.” A Food Desert is defined as an area where people have limited access to a variety of healthy foods. This may be due to a lack of nearby stores selling fresh produce and/or a lack of transportation to get to the stores.
