Chelan Douglas Community Action Council
620 Lewis Street
Wenatchee, WA

Amount Requested: $3,000,000

The Chelan –Douglas Community Action Council’s (CDCAC) Food Distribution Center provides support for individuals experiencing food insecurity. The quantity of food CDCAC’s receives/distributes has doubled in the past 3-years. They currently support twenty-two area food pantries, meal sites and low-income senior housing facilities with over 2-million pounds of food annually; providing nutritional food to those who face food insecurity.

CDCAC’s current food distribution facility is inadequate to meet the increase in demand, avoid food waste, and ensure the safe storage of food products and safety of employees and volunteers. The location of the new facility will reduce travel times; expand programs focusing on local purchasing of farm goods through expansion of commercial processing equipment; improve safety measures; and provide for a dedicated volunteer and employee training space.
