What are River City Food Bank’s plans in the wake of the October 2010 fire?
Our first priority was to be able to resume distribution of three-day emergency food supplies. We were able to begin distribution out of a truck during our regular hours, thanks to Goodwill, eight days after the fire. On a temporary basis, we will operate in space donated by Sutter Medical Center at the corner of 27th and N Streets. We are also aggressively exploring options for our location, long-term. The Episcopal Diocese of Northern California, which allowed us to operate rent-free in their now burned-out building at 1322 27th Street, is also working on their long-term plans for the site.
