This may not look like much, but it is the new walk-in freezer given to us by the Food Bank Council of Michigan. (Some assembly required!) We had no room for it at our old building, but in the new building we will have plenty of space for freezers, refrigerators, and a cold room for produce. All of this will enhance the quality and variety of food we can provide to our neighbors who are in need.
The interior of the building is coming together. This is one end of the food storage/processing area. Ceiling, walls, and lighting done! Office/reception area is framed in and waiting for drywall.
