ST. GEORGE — Long hours of volunteer work and years of service culminated in a ribbon cutting Thursday afternoon at the newly expanded Utah Food Bank Southern Distribution Center.
The parking lot of the facility at 4416 S. River Road in St. George was packed with TV cameras and spectators as officials and volunteers dedicated the Linda Trujillo Volunteer Center.
That is the name for the new building, which added more warehouse space to the already existing food bank that was originally built in 2011.
Utah Food Bank officials said the expansion of the distribution center in St. George is a crucial piece of enhancing their ability to fight statewide hunger.
