Mid-Ohio Foodbank Tour

Considering my last post was so long, I'll make this one short and sweet.  And include pictures!  Above is front view of the Mid-Ohio Foodbank, affectionalty abbreviated as MOFB from here on out.

First, check out their impressive website: www.midohiofoodbank.org

It was truly a fantastic facility in every way.  It is one of the 12 member foodbanks that my organization heads up, so it acts like a distribution center to smaller food pantries and soup kitchens across mid-Ohio.  They just moved in to this facility in the past year, it was previously a matress factory.  Think of a huge warehouse of matresses, now full of bulk food!

As soon as you walk in you can actually see in to the warehouse, through three story high bay windows in the lobby.  Cool!

The best part is that they are LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified Gold.  See here for more information on that distinction.

THIS is the overview from the MOFB site on how their facility is designed.

Our favorite college football team, the Ohio State Buckeyes, loves the MOFB too!
