Food Bank of Delaware to expand footprint in Milford with new facility

MILFORD, Del. – The Food Bank of Delaware is looking to grow its presence in Milford with the opening of a new facility.

Back in 2013, the food bank expanded its current building and since then identified that additional space was needed.

The $34 million project will serve citizens of Kent and Sussex counties while also fulfilling a growing need down state.

In addition to the traditional warehouse, the new space will offer a community garden, more volunteer space, and room for the Logic Training Program that is currently only offered in Newark. “We excited about that because we know how vital having trained employees in that space are, as housing and logistics is one of the fastest growing industries in southern Delaware,” Director of External Affairs Chad Robinson said.

Thanks to generous donors,  the food bank has raised $24 million dollars towards the project.

The public phase of the campaign has now launched to fundraise for the other $10 million needed.

The project is expected to be completed fall 2023.
