SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Officials say a food pantry that serves more than 5,000 people a month in Sioux City is being evicted because the building it operates from has been sold. The Midtown Family Community Center houses the food pantry, a free Saturday meal and a 4-H program. Janet Reynolds of the Jones Street Neighborhood Coalition says the center’s closure will be a “huge loss for the community.”
Boys and Girls Home Inc. owns the building and had allowed the community center to use the building rent-free. But the building was sold last month. Boys and Girls Home is moving its programs to a centralized campus at the site of the former Indian Hills shopping center.
Reynolds says the grant funding the center receives provides only food for the pantry and Saturday meal. She says officials are looking for another neighborhood space to reopen.
