Food Bank Digs In To Give Disaster Support

El Dorado County youth shatter collection goal in Super Bowl Sunday food drive

The Food Bank of El Dorado County broke ground on its emergency resource center Aug. 25, which will house essential resources to help residents and first responders if another disaster, such as the Caldor Fire, hits close to home.

Expected to be completed by fall 2023, the facility will span 15,000 square feet and store emergency food, water tanks, tents, flashlights and more, according to Food Bank of El Dorado County founder Mike Sproull.

It will store all the things we learned we needed from the Caldor Fire, Sproull told a crowd gathered Thursday at the food bank to support the project as the first shovels of earth turned. It is basically going to be a collection and clearinghouse to support everybody who steps up like the Sheriffs Office, fire departments and churches. Well be there supporting them and what they do.

The resource center will be constructed next to the food bank on Business Drive in Shingle Springs on food-bank-owned property.

The Caldor Fire, which left hundreds in Grizzly Flat homeless, was a catalyst for the opening of the food banks resource center but the facility will not be limited to wildfire emergencies.

I had this in mind but after the Caldor Fire it solidified that we really do need it, Sproull said. In my opinion if something happens in El Dorado County, its going to be mostly on us to take care of ourselves so we want to build a local resource that can help anybody.
