Motion carried Hugo Good Neighbor Food Shelf Capital Campaign On August 19, 2014 the Hugo Good Neighbor Food Shelf closed on the property they purchased at 15106 Francesca Avenue North in the Peloquin Industrial Park. The Food Shelf's plan is to construct a 1,500 square foot building on this property. President Kris Emerson thanked the Council and staff for the work they had done to help purchase the property. Kris introduced two new members of the Food Shelf, Darin Carlson and Neil Fagerhaugh. Darin talked about the Capital Funding Campaign to raise money for the building saying that the needs of the community are larger than the current building. Darin stated that the goal is to raise $200,000 to build a new facility without interrupting the normal operating budget. He explained the plan to secure $50,000 as quickly as possible and up to $100,000 the first year. He said the goal was realistic, and would cut their building expenses in half by the time they end their first year in the new building. The campaign officially kicks off next week, and the Food Shelf will provide Council updates on the plan in the coming months.
