Members say plans for a temperature controlled warehouse could make the difference for families in need and expand pantry options to fresh produce and meat.

“It requires about 20,000ft² of total storage. We measure that by how many donations might be available [and] how many pantries and kitchens we want to serve. We can supply enough donated food to support the 30 or so pantries and kitchens in Owensboro,” says Innes.
