Double

Food
Bucks,
a

program
that
helps

when

Senior

will
be

“Pop-Up
Produce
Stands
make
healthy
food
more
accessible
by
bringing
fresh
produce
directly
to
a
location
people
already
use,”
said
Dr.
Cassius
Lockett,
District
Health
Officer
for
the
Southern
Nevada
Health
District.
“By
making
nutritious
food
available
at
an
affordable
price
in
a
central
community
location,
we
can
help
reduce
barriers
to
healthy
eating
and
support
the
health
and
well-being
of
Southern
Nevadans.”

The
Pop-Up
Produce
Stands
are
a
partnership
between
the
Southern
Nevada
Health
District’s
Office
of
Chronic
Disease
Prevention
and
Health
Promotion,
the
Regional
Transportation
Commission
of
Southern
Nevada
and
Prevail
Marketplace.

More
than
produce
will
be
available
at
the
pop-up
events.
Shoppers
can
also
connect
with
nutrition
education,
health
information,
and
community
resources.
The
Division
of
Social
Services
will
attend
select
events
to
help
participants
learn
about
available
benefits
and
other
resources.

Connecting
Southern
Nevadans
with
healthy
food

The
Pop-Up
Produce
Stands
help
address
food
insecurity
by
bringing
fresh,
nutritious
foods
to
communities
where
access
can
be
limited.
In
2024,
an
estimated
386,420
Clark
County
residents
—
16.6%
of
the
population
—
experienced
food
insecurity,
equal
to
the
statewide
rate
(16.6%)
and
higher
than
the
national
rate
of
14.4%.
Children
in
Clark
County
were
particularly
affected,
with
114,930
children,
or
22.2%,
experiencing
food
insecurity.

Access
to
healthy
food
remains
a
challenge
in
some
areas.
The
U.S.
Department
of
Agriculture
identified
30
Clark
County
census
tracts
as
food
deserts
in
2019,
underscoring
the
continuing
need
to
make
nutritious
food
more
accessible.
These
barriers
contribute
to
significant
racial
disparities.
In
2024,
food
insecurity
affected
31%
of
Black
residents,
compared
with
13%
of
white
residents.

The
Pop-Up
Produce
Stands
are
helping
address
that
need.
In
2025,
the
program
distributed
1,113
pounds
of
fresh
produce,
with
approximately
44%
of
sales
made
using
SNAP/EBT
benefits.
The
use
of
SNAP/EBT
demonstrates
the
program’s
role
in
helping
make
fresh,
healthy
food
more
accessible
to
individuals
and
families
who
may
face
barriers
to
purchasing
it.
