ALMOST HERE! THE VISION CENTER

After years of planning and anticipation, we are thrilled to report that construction is nearly complete at our additional facility – the Vision Center! Every day brings new improvements – some are large and visible, such as framed walls in the new pantry space or exterior painting on the building, while on other days, the improvements are less visible (but very important!), such as the installation of fire sprinklers or the myriad of wiring required for a multi-use facility.

While all of this is taking place, Clark County Food Bank team members are working on defining the work that will take place within the building. Some teams are working to create a welcoming, inclusive, and idealized model of food distribution for our clients, while other teams are defining technological resources to enhance collaborative meetings for the Vision Center. Still, others are working to enhance our volunteer programming and operations with the availability of more space. Our team recognizes that we are not only adding a building, we are adding to our community.

With construction scheduled to be completed by late spring, we anticipate moving Community Kitchen – Walnut Grove into the Vision Center by early summer. Clients and staff members alike look forward to the day when we are able to open the doors and welcome the community into the Vision Center!
