Ground breaking was held this week on the new farmer's pavilion at the Water Into Wine Food Pantry. The new pavilion will be built over the current loading dock. It has been a long hot summer, and many days our clients stood in the sun, to await entry into the pantry. The new deck will provide shade and fans to help cool in the hot summer months. The new structure is set to be 44' x 32'.
This will also help local farmers participate in a new food program, Farmers Feeding Friends, by allowing farmers to donate locally grown foods to the pantry, and be reimbursed financially for the cost of the goods. Farmers will have access to place pallets of locally grown fruits and vegetables to the pantry for our clients. Pallets will be arranged under the pavilion so that clients can have a shopping experience. Eventually, the loading dock will receive new concrete, while the current reefer trailer will be moved and made permanent at the other side of the dock. This new configuration will allow semi deliveries to the loading dock and be stored immediately in the new trailer. Eventually the area will also receive new security cameras and other enhancements as funding becomes available.
