FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
November 3, 2025
LAS VEGAS—The Southern Nevada Health District and its partners are reminding the community that Pop-Up Produce Stands continue this fall at the Bonneville Transit Center (BTC), offering affordable, regionally grown fruits and vegetables. Shoppers can use SNAP/EBT, cash, debit or credit cards.
The stands will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., or while supplies last, at the BTC, 101 E. Bonneville Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89101, on:
- Tuesday, Nov. 4
- Tuesday, Nov. 18 (third Tuesday due to Veterans Day)
- Tuesday, Dec. 2
- Tuesday, Dec. 9
As many households continue to feel the effects of higher food costs and changes to SNAP benefits, the Pop-Up Product Stands provide a convenient and affordable way to bring home healthy foods. In addition to making it easier to stretch food budgets, the program supports local business and promotes good nutrition.
In 2024, the stands generated $3,275 in sales and distributed 2,471 pounds of fresh produce. About 26% of sales were made using SNAP/EBT benefits, demonstrating the program’s role in improving healthy food access for families who may be experiencing barriers to accessing healthy foods.
Food security remains a challenge in Southern Nevada. In 2023, 16% of Clark County residents (366,710 people) were food insecure—higher than both the state (15.1%) and national (14.3%) averages. More than one in five children in Clark County (22%) experienced food insecurity. Rates among Black residents (28%) were more than double those of White residents (13%), underscoring significant disparities. In 2019, the U.S. Department of Agriculture identified 30 census tracts in Clark County as food deserts, highlighting persistent barriers to healthy food access.
The produce stands are a partnership of the Southern Nevada Health District’s Office of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada and Prevail Marketplace.
Shoppers will also receive healthy recipe cards, nutrition education and other health resources.

The website also lists local farmers markets, including those that accept EBT, SNAP and debit or credit cards.
