The new Loaves and Fishes building is finally complete.
Volunteers helped move into the new building on Thursday and Friday. The project began at the first of March and is twice the size as the former building by 1,000 square feet. The modern structure is designed to allow the greatest efficiency for loading and unloading trucks for the regional food bank twice a month and eliminate the need to purchase meat, eggs, milk and other staples between deliveries. Also making the packaging of groceries for families easier for the volunteers as they could use carts to gather the food and help them with heavy items. Floyd and Terri Kalm of Kalm Construction are serving as project managers for the new location.

The new Loaves and Fishes now has plenty of room for food for those in need.
