WE ARE EXPANDING

In order to serve our partner organizations better and provide more food to those facing food insecurity, we need more space. We are excited to announce the next phase in the growth and expansion of Milford Food Bank! We broke ground on June 5, 2025! 

WHAT
ARE WE DOING?

Milford Food Bank has been gifted property directly across the street, allowing us to build a new facility that will include warehouse and storage space, offices, and a processing room. Being across the street will grant us better inventory management and a more efficient distribution method. 

WHY
ARE WE DOING THIS?

Communities throughout Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio are suffering. Employment rates are dropping. Food costs have risen and remain high due to inflation. Wages aren't meeting the higher cost of food and bills. To meet the increased needs of our partner organizations and reach more individuals and families, we need to increase our warehouse and distribution capacity. At the same time, Milford Food Bank is continuing to find more local small businesses, retail stores, and wholesale warehouses that are increasingly interested in partnering with us to help rescue food they would otherwise have to throw away. Additional warehouse space will help us to store and distribute this additional product. ​

WHAT
IS THE GOAL?

Our goal is to be able to double our distribution to partner organizations. We currently distribute over 350,000 pounds of food to over 200 organizations each month. This expansion will allow us to increase our monthly distribution to up to 700,000 pounds of food. By doing this, we can touch the lives of over 200,000 individuals throughout Michiana EVERY MONTH.

To make this building a reality, we need to raise $1,000,000. This includes the construction of the building as well as finishes in the warehouse, an updated processing area, office space, and loading docks.
