The Dirt: Second Harvest prepares adjacent building for expansion

Second Harvest is expanding into an adjacent building, according to city permit data.

The building next to its current food distribution warehouse at 402 N. Perry St. is undergoing a $400,000 renovation, turning the 24,000-square-foot building into a warehouse focused on feeding hungry children.

The new center is called Wolff Family Child Hunger Solution Center.

Second Harvest’s Bite2Go program provides weekend food packs to more than 5,000 school children. Second Harvest estimates there are 25,000 hungry children in the region who are members of families living on the edge of poverty and could use the weekend meals.

The Spokane- and Tri-Cities-based nonprofit is the largest hunger-relief organization in Eastern Washington and North Idaho. Last year, it provided 30 million pounds of food to a network of 250 neighborhood food banks and meal centers, feeding more than 55,000 people a week.

The general contractor for the renovation is Construction Management & Forensics of Coeur d’Alene. Copeland Architecture & Construction of Spokane is the architect. – N.D.
