The Food Link Hub works for the community.
The Hub increases Food Link’s capacity to rescue and redistribute food, streamline our operations, and meet the needs of recipients by providing:
A loading dock that accommodates large vehicles with pallets of surplus food
Expanded cold storage allowing for just-in-time food deliveries that meet recipient needs
Indoor food sorting space for volunteers, away from inclement weather
An accessible building to welcome a wider range of volunteer groups and visitors
A community space for education sessions on food waste, environmental sustainability, and nutrition
And it works for the environment.
The Hub is designed to be a High-Performance building and minimize Food Link’s impact on the environment. This is achieved by:
Solar panels that are projected to offset the energy use of the refrigeration
Air Source VRF Heat Pump for climate control
High R-value insulation and windows to reduce energy consumption and operating costs
Repurposed and discontinued building materials and supplies
In January 2022, we completed our capital campaign, raising $3.25M for the renovation of the Hub.
Food Link is grateful for the generosity of the many individuals, private, public, and family foundations, and corporate donors who made the opening of the Food Link Hub possible. Special thanks go to:
