This is one part of a multi building development plan for a church in my town. These plans were not finalized but meant to be a proposal for the land usage. The following images consist of the church distribution center. The goals of this building were to create a new distribution center to serve the community. This building would be utilized as a food pantry primarily, but may also distribute, toys, emergency goods, and school or medical supplies depending on community needs.
