Demand for our services, especially in the Food Locker, continued to grow in 2024, placing a strain on us. The number of households utilizing our Food Locker grew by 41% in 2024. In 2023, we assisted an average of 88 households per day, but by the end of 2024, that had risen to 124 households per day. In total, almost 19,000 households utilized our Food Locker in 2024. It is due to all of you that we have been able to keep up so far. But the Food Locker is now bursting at the seams.

            Given this, we have begun planning to remodel the warehouse to keep up with the needs of our community. With more people comes the need for more food and more storage. We need more cold storage and plan to add a larger walk-in refrigeration unit. This will require us to reconstruct the warehouse to fit the additional unit. We are also creating a plan to improve the flow of goods entering and leaving the food locker. 

            Please help us fund this project, which will allow us to continue to serve all who come to us for groceries to help feed their families.
