The Ballard Food Bank is moving from 24th Ave. into a bigger space in the industrial area of Ballard. Nancy McKinney, the Executive Director for the Ballard Food Bank, sent us this note:
Given our lack of capacity and poor placement in a residential neighborhood, the Ballard Food Bank is planning to move to an undisclosed location in industrial Ballard. The new location will allow us to better serve our clients, store food and expand our distribution hours. In addition we hope to use some flexible office space to partner with agencies that can give referral assistance along with other services that will help clients that need health care and housing assistance.
We will keep you posted on the location once McKinney can discuss it publicly.
