W FOOD BANK file — In this Herald file photo from November 2010, Statesboro Food Bank volunteers Diana Moore, left, and Dot Simmons team up to prepare a package a week's supply of food for a family of six. The Food Bank is hoping to move from its current Proctor St. location to the old Sallie Zetterower Elementary School cafeteria by March 1.

The Statesboro Food Bank will be moving to a larger facility soon. Bulloch County Board of Education members voted Thursday to lease a portion of a vacant elementary school building on Brannen Street to the food bank. The building was vacated earlier this year when students moved to the new Sallie Zetterower Elementary School building on Cawana Road.
