Fort Wayne food bank using revamped facility
FORT WAYNE, Ind. — A Fort Wayne food bank is starting to use its renovated facility that now has three times the usable space.
The Community Harvest Food Bank held tours and a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday of the renovations that are part of the group’s $5 million capital campaign.
The Journal Gazette reports that the building features include 5,000-square-foot freezer, improved storage areas, two new truck docks and a second floor previously used for storage remodeled into offices.
Food bank spokeswoman Claudia Johnson says it has 36 full-time and two part-time employees and about 5,000 volunteers who work to distribute about 11 million pounds of food a year around northeastern Indiana.
