The Columbia Gorge Food Bank has settled into its new home at 3525 Crates Way in The Dalles.  Construction of the Community Food Center began with the 2020 purchase of a shell of a warehouse that was renovated to be a state-of-the-art food bank that began to distribute food to the first of 46 community partners in the early days of this year.  It includes over 1,000 square feet of refrigerated storage and more than 600 square feet of freezer space.  Completing construction of the food bank’s offices, flex space, and learning kitchen will take place over the next few months.  A grand opening for the center is expected to take place in early spring.
