THE GREATER BOSTON FOOD BANK TOPS OFF NEW WAREHOUSE
BOSTON – The Greater Boston Food Bank approached 50 percent completion of its new warehouse facility on June 12 when the traditional white beam – signed by The Food Bank employees, invited guests and members of Ironworkers Local 7 - was lowered in place onto the structure’s frame during a topping off ceremony. The new warehouse on South Bay Avenue is just blocks from The Food Bank's current location on Atkinson Street in the city’s Newmarket Business District. The Food Bank staff, Boston city officials, construction industry representatives, Food Bank board members and donors were on hand to witness the event. Consigli Construction Company is the contractor for the building, which was designed by the Chan Krieger Sieniewicz architectural firm. The project is slated for completion in winter 2009.
The Greater Boston Food Bank distributes approximately 30 million pounds of food and grocery products annually to more than 600 hunger-relief agencies in a dedicated partnership to end hunger in eastern Massachusetts. The Food Bank serves 83,000 people each week. For more information about The Greater Boston Food Bank, visit our Web sites at www.gbfb.org and www.newfoodbank.org, or call 617-427-5200.
