Building Addition

THE NEW BUILD HAS BEGUN!

Our building expansion has begun! On Friday, April 21st , volunteers and visitors joined the staff and board members in dedicating this expansion project to the Lord. It is only through His blessings and guidance that this is happening. We are thankful for generous donations and pledges that have been received and ask that you join us in prayer as we move forward with the project and continue to encourage donations to complete this project. We look forward to a second cooler enabling us to store our vegetables at optimal temperatures for food preservation and warehouse space for split peas and donations of beans and barley, as well as staging space upcoming shipments as they are packed. 
​

This project is estimated to be around $900,000. We have $492,300 currently and $407,700 left to go!

WHY EXPAND?

1. Cooler Space

​Did you know that vegetables are preserved best at different temperatures? Our additional cooler will enable us to store potatoes and sweet potatoes at ‘warmer’ temperatures and ensure they are kept dark. Many times our cooler is full and we have to store them on the warehouse floor.

2. Warehouse Storage

  • STORING OUR VALUABLE SPLIT PEAS
We purchase them 26 metric tonnes at a time and our outdoor storage trailers are deteriorating.

  • IMPROVED LOADING DOCK AREA
Will enable trucks and trailers of various sizes to back into our loading dock without the risk of landing gear getting stuck. Loading and unloading in the loading dock is much safer than on our concrete pad!

  • STORING OUR FOOD THAT IS PACKED ​              & READY TO SHIP
Will allow us to stage and designate multiple shipments without taking up warehouse floor space.

HOW ARE NEEDS CHANGING?

Picture
The requests for food and quantity of food we are shipping has been increasing each year.
The photo above shows the last 4 years of food sent out in kg. More requests mean more product that needs processing, and the larger requests take more space. We wish to ensure that we are operating as safely and efficiently as possible.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

In 2022 we shipped over 11.2 MILLION SERVINGS!
