One of the largest food banks in the Tri-Counties has announced an effort to build a new 85,000-square-foot warehouse and headquarters.
The organization hopes to replace the outdated facilities it’s operated from in Oxnard for more than four decades.
They've secured a 12-acre site for the new complex and raised $32 million of the $50 million needed for the project.
The new facility will consolidate operations currently spread across three warehouses. It will double the size of the existing facilities and increase cooler and freezer space by nearly 150%.
Food Share works with around 200 community and nonprofit groups in Ventura County to feed more than 250,000 people annually.
