The Wood Buffalo Food Bank is close to opening a new location downtown.
The non-profit has been operating out of two temporary sites after their building was flooded during April’s flood.
The newly purchased location is larger and will help with more storage as well as allow them to run additional programs to help the community.
“Up until the flood we were renting extra warehouse space in addition to our main building just so we could ensure enough stock on hand to provide hampers,” said Dan Edwards, Executive Director.
