Community Mobile Pantry Cart

Custom mobile pantry cart designed and built for a local food bank to serve neighborhoods without fixed distribution sites.

A local food bank needed a durable, mobile cart to bring food directly to neighborhoods without fixed distribution sites.

Students designed a cart that could be pushed by one person, hold 400 lbs of food, and fit through standard doorways.

The cart has been in weekly use for over six months with no maintenance required.
