Milford Food Bank is raising $1 million to build a new storage facility to better serve those in need in the community
Milford: The Milford Food Bank is stepping up its game! They just announced a $1 million campaign to build a new 12,000-square-foot storage facility. This place will not only store food but also have office space and a better food packaging area.
They’re planning to break ground later this year, which is super exciting for the community. This new building will help them serve even more people who need food assistance.
Milford Food Bank has been around for a while, helping families facing hunger. With this new facility, they expect to double their food output, reaching hundreds of thousands more people each month in the Michiana area.
Plus, the extra space will make it easier to package and distribute food, which is a big deal for their many partners in the region.
Angie Deak, the development manager, mentioned that they’re at a crucial point in their growth. With support from the community, they can help even more people struggling with food insecurity.
Right now, they’re serving over 125,000 people each month across several counties. They work with food pantries, churches, and community kitchens to distribute a whopping 350,000 pounds of food monthly.
The campaign will rely on donations from individuals and businesses who want to help end hunger. They’re offering sponsorship levels with special recognition in the new building, which is a nice touch.
Angie emphasized that every little bit helps. They want to build a facility that meets today’s needs and sets them up for the future.
This new building will be a real lifeline for families struggling with hunger. Milford Food Bank is dedicated to providing food and compassion to those in need, staying true to their mission.
