“Pop-Up Produce Stands make it easier for families to find fresh, healthy food in places they already visit,” said Dr. Cassius Lockett, District Health Officer for the Southern Nevada Health District. “By bringing affordable produce to a central transit location, we’re helping reduce barriers to healthy eating and supporting community well-being.”
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.
In addition to fresh produce, shoppers will receive nutrition education and other health resources. The Division of Social Services will be in attendance at select pop-up events to assist participants with benefits and resources.
The program aims to improve access to healthy food and reduce food insecurity in Southern Nevada. In 2023, Clark County’s food insecurity rate was 16%, affecting 366,710 people—higher than both Nevada (15.1%) and the United States (14.3%). More than one in five children in Clark County, equivalent to 111,180 children (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.
In 2025, the stands distributed 1,113 pounds of fresh produce. About 44% 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.
