City and county direct $320,000 more to new Food Bank building

Added amount from local interest on federal ARPA cash; city and county previously put up $1M of ARPA principal

Seen from the outside in this June 17 photo, the new Statesboro Food Bank building at 506 Miller St. is scheduled to be stocked and ready for food-box distributions from the back portion — the Joe Bill Brannon Pantry — July 1, but much work remains to be done inside the front section with its dining hall, kitchen and classrooms, expected to be complete some time this fall.
