Food Bank Of Delaware, Newark, DE

The foodbank provides food and resources through a network of 536 hunger-relief program partners.
Their partners include food pantries, shelter or residential programs, social service agencies,
emergency soup kitchens, children’s nutrition programs, schools and neighborhood and church
distribution programs who reach low-income people in need. They distributed more than 8 million
pounds of food last year. The Food Bank of Delaware provides food to food pantries, emergency shelters, low-income day
care centers, after-school programs, senior centers, churches and other feeding programs.

This project involved 16,823 sq. ft. dedicated to two culinary cooking kitchens to be operated simultaneously. The building
also includes a new warehouse area with dry storage, walk-in coolers and freezers. The facility operates as an on-site
prep/cooking kitchen equipped to prepare and cook meals to be served in an adjacent dining room. Meals are served on
a combination of re-usable and disposable dinnerware requiring a full dishroom. All equipment is of commercial grade
and meet current health code requirements.
