Resource-Center

Food pantry space under construction last month


The Resource Center Food Pantry is awaiting one final inspection before it can reopen.
The pantryhas  moved from its Denton Drive location to the main Resource Center building at 2701 Reagan St. but hasn’t opened yet as it waits for its final city permit to operate.
“Once we get our permit, we can get the freezer hooked up,” Resource Center spokesman Rafael McDonnell said.
That involved adding  220-current outlets, and that means extra inspections.
McDonnell said dry goods are out and ready for distribution.
If the space does pass inspection tomorrow (Wednesday, April 20), the pantry should reopen for business on Monday, April 25.
The hot meals program, which takes place in the building next door to the main space, has continued serving meals uninterrupted. The center lost its space on Denton Drive sooner than it expected.
