HAMEL — The Bread Of Life Food Pantry in Hamel is launching a capital campaign to raise funds for relocating and constructing a new pantry building, organizers announced this week. The project, approved by the Alhambra Hamel Ministerial Alliance, aims to build a facility just down the road from the pantry’s current location on Cimmaron Drive.

The new building will include HVAC, electrical work, interior walls, and shelving designed to better serve local families experiencing food insecurity.
