Children’s Hunger Fund, the main organization behind the project, held a groundbreaking ceremony for the facility May 2.
The organization estimates that the new Prosper facility will distribute more than 100 million meals to children living in poverty. About 14% of North Texas residents live in poverty, according to Children's Hunger Fund. Of those residents, about 20% are children who experience poverty.
The facility, dubbed as a volunteer center and poverty encounter experience, will be about 85,000 square feet when completed.
It will include:
- 10,000 square foot volunteer center
- 25,000 square foot poverty encounter exhibit
- 30,000 square foot community center and office space
- 20,000 square foot processing and storage space
