$100,000 / 2011 / Education
Toward the costs of creating a centralized, state-of-the-art commissary and warehouse in the Hoen Lithography building at 2101 East Biddle Street with the capacity of preparing as many as 150,000 meals a day for Baltimore City public school students. When rehabbing of the building is completed and the program is in operation, the commissary is expected to lower costs of meals served in Baltimore City public schools and to improve the nutritional value of students’ meals.
