The Clothes Closet Warehouse Has Electricity!

The City of Elk Grove partnered with Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) to provide electricity to the Elk Grove Food Bank Services Clothes Closet Warehouse. The facility, where EGFBS volunteers work to organize and store clothing donations, previously did not have electricity. Work hours in the warehouse were previously scheduled to coincide with daylight hours and seasonal climate conditions. Dedicated volunteers worked early in the day during the summer to take advantage of the cool mornings, and bundled up to work during the winter.

The City has also constructed a sidewalk along Williamson Drive to provide safe access to Elk Grove Adult Community Training Center (EGACT) and Elk Grove Food Bank Services Clothing Warehouse. Our volunteers and EGACT clients who walk to the area now have a safe path out of the way of traffic.

There will be a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Tuesday, January 18,2011, at 10 a.m. for the improvements made in the area.
