Northminster in Sarasota received a grant last year to expand the space for their food pantry, which serves about 200 families each month. They transformed a mostly unused space in the back of the fellowship hall into a storage area that holds three commercial refrigerator/freezer units and shelving that can be rolled into the hall on the day of distribution.
