Milford — The Milford Food Bank invites the community to celebrate the completion of its new warehouse facility with a public open house from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 2, at 112 E. Emeline St., in Milford.
A unique ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for noon.
This milestone marks a significant step forward for the faith-based nonprofit, which provides food to area food pantries and food assistance programs. The new facility is the result of a major expansion effort designed to meet growing demand for food assistance across Northern Indiana, Southern Michigan, and surrounding regions.
The expanded building will greatly enhance the organization’s ability to serve its network of partner agencies by increasing warehouse capacity, improving food processing capabilities, and streamlining operations and distribution.
The food bank currently distributes hundreds of thousands of pounds of food each month to more than 240 partner organizations, and officials believe the new facility will allow it to nearly double its impact, reaching even more individuals and families facing food insecurity.
“Food insecurity continues to rise, and this expansion allows us to respond in a bigger and more efficient way,” said Angie Deak, Development Manager at Milford Food Bank. “This building is not just about space; it’s about extending hope, strengthening partnerships, and sharing the love of Christ with more people than ever before.”
The Open House event is free and open to the public. Visitors will have the opportunity to tour the new facility, meet the staff, volunteers, and board members, and learn more about the organization’s mission and impact.
The celebration will also include food available for purchase from Fellowship Mission’s It’s All Good Food Truck & Catering.
