‘It’s happening’

New Moses Lake Food Bank facility to open in December

MOSES LAKE — After eight years of effort, donations and fundraising efforts throughout the community, it’s here. Moses Lake Food Bank Director Peny Archer said Moving Day is about a month away. “The official move-in date is Dec. 5,” Archer said. The building, about 10,000 square feet, will house the food bank’s local distribution area; a separate building refurbished in 2020 houses food to be distributed to other regional food banks. Food is delivered to the Moses Lake food bank and then redistributed to 34 food banks in central Washington.
