Challenge Operational efficiency is key for any food storage and distribution facility however a food bank typically operates on a budget that relies on the kindness of individual and corporate donors. Keeping operating costs low and maintaining capital equipment is imperative for the organization to serve those who depend on it. The West Ohio Food Bank is housed in a 30-year-old building that once was a food distribution facility prior to the food bank taking occupancy in 2006.
