Food Hub Construction Update: we have more walls going up! And lots of plumbing challenges are being met to be able to properly build a kitchen down here in the lower level of the Parkdale CHC. There's never been kitchen-appropriate plumbing in this space before, and that even meant drilling into the concrete floor to be able to put in the proper piping!
Also, with the help of some lovely volunteers, we've cleaned up some barn board and have even put up a few shelves. Things are beginning to take shape, and you can start to envision what the Food Hub will look like. It's so exciting to see each incremental step, and even the little things make a big impact at this point.
More construction updates coming your way in the next few weeks!
And in case you hadn't already heard, we've launched our Open the Store Doors Bond Campaign where we hope to raise the remaining funds to open the Food Hub, bring in our first batch of inventory, and start up our Community Kitchen. All of the money we raise during this Bond Campaign will go towards our goal of opening this summer and, as you can see from the photos, we're well on our way to finishing the space. We are aiming to raise $80,000 and we've already raised $13,000 in the past two weeks alone! Help us keep up the momentum by getting involved, spreading the word, telling your friends, tweet it, facebook it, buy a bond, find friends to go in on a bond purchase together, and let's make this happen!
