A Community Capital Campaign
New Food and Nutrition Center
The Open Door is pleased to announce a $2.25M capital campaign to build a Food and Nutrition Center with the acquisition of 26 Emerson Avenue (the old food coop) to increase service capacity throughout the region.
This project will provide a new production kitchen, add cold and dry storage, enhance client service areas, increase transportation capacity, invest in technology architecture, and improve the living environment for low and moderate-income populations.
We need to raise $400K to close the campaign and start construction in the fall of 2021.
