Bringing Fresh, Affordable Food
to Kansas City, Kansas.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
The Dotte Mobile Grocer Program has faced many challenges throughout this past year. We recognize updates have been in short supply, and we apologize for any frustration. The truck we lovingly call “Dottie” isn’t reliable enough to keep the program steadily rolling. From the beginning, this program relied on creativity to address the needs of the community, so we're getting creative with our problem solving.
The plan may evolve, but we remain hopeful and committed to our mission of improving healthy food access throughout Wyandotte County. We’re working hard behind the scenes to honor the original spirit of the program and get back on the road SOON. Stay tuned for more updates!
About Us
In partnership with Dotte Local Grocer, Cultivate KC will be operating the Dotte Mobile Grocer Program and will make stops at different locations each week to offer residents in Eastern Wyandotte County the opportunity to stock up on produce, meat, dairy, dry goods and even frozen items.

Community-Owned
The Dotte Mobile Grocer is owned by Dotte Local Grocer, Inc., a non-profit organized by members of the Mobile Market Community Council.
In 2023, Dotte Local Grocer, Inc. partnered with Cultivate KC to relaunch the program and get back on the road.
““Everything about the Dotte Mobile Grocer is community-driven. I love that about it because it’s not us telling the community what they should want, the community has a voice, so we can make sure that everything is decided by Wyandotte County.””
Community-Led
The Mobile Market Community Council (MMCC) is made up of Wyandotte County residents and community health partners.
All Dotte Mobile Grocer decisions are made by the resident members of the MMCC reaching a consensus.
