Fort Wayne food bank using revamped facility

Posted: Updated:
FORT WAYNE -

A Fort Wayne food bank is starting to use its renovated facility that now has three times the useable 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.
