The Virtual Supermarket Project Connecting underserved communities to healthy foods

The Problem Many neighborhoods do not have a full-service supermarket. People shop at corner stores that are: Unhealthy Poor or no selection of fruits and vegetables More expensive than supermarket fare Health consequences: Obesity High blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease

This is Baltimore

Innovation:The Virtual Supermarket Project Mission: The mission of the Virtual Supermarket Project is to transform urban communities into neighborhoods that enjoy convenient, rapid access to affordable, healthy food.

Innovation:The Virtual Supermarket Project The Virtual Supermarket Project will achieve this transformation by: partnering with community groups to allow purchasing and same-day delivery of supermarket goods to local neighborhood points via Internet ordering.

The Virtual Supermarket Project Grocery ordering occurs at a community center using the Internet Groceries delivered to the same place within 3-6 hours of order placement

The Virtual Supermarket Project Community group supplies: People who need a way to purchase groceries A high traffic area for the Virtual Supermarket Project to set up Publicity of the project to community members The Virtual Supermarket supplies: Staff to administer the process Secure Internet access for purchases Credit card to guarantee purchases Subsidized delivery fee for first 6 weeks to establish demand

The Process Step 1: Select 1-2 times/week for online grocery ordering at the Community Center/Church/Neighborhood Site 2: Consumers pay with cash, credit card, debit, or food stamps 3: Order submitted to supermarket 4: Select a delivery time 5: Residents pick up pre-purchased groceries at appointed time at Community Center/Church/Neighborhood Site

Delivered to: Community Site Erica Chris Sam

Community Implications Convenient neighborhood delivery Removes transportation barrier No more buses or cabs to get to the market Less expensive than corner stores Expanded, healthier food choices

Business Implications Markets want to sell more food, and people want to buy it! Virtual Supermarket organizes the low income market Subsidizes delivery fee until market has grown large enough to justify a waiver of the fee Higher quality goods and services brought to the neighborhood
