Generations Campaign
THE STORY IN VIDEOS
THE STORY IN VIDEOS
In our second century of service to the greater Miami Valley region, it’s a great time to reflect on how we got here, the important role we play, and why we expect to be here for another hundred years.
We launched the public phase of our Generations Campaign in April of 2022. This 6-minute video will give you an overview of the priority areas we’ll be able to grow and improve as we progress through and beyond the five-year campaign. (2021-2025)
Through the Generations Campaign, we will add a 6,000 sq. foot facility to our current building at 922 W. Riverview Avenue, providing a new open floor pantry space, additional storage, and a new indoor loading area. Renovations will also include a ground floor welcome center, a community gathering room, and an elevator which will provide accessibility to the current building’s second and third floors.

The July 7, 2023 groundbreaking marks the beginning of construction on a 6,500 square foot addition to the existing building which was originally built in the mid-1960s. The addition will have new space for the agency’s emergency food pantry, an elevator, a new entrance and Welcome Center, and a community room.
