More room, better parking and cold storage is in store for the Statesboro Food Bank as volunteers move the agency from its cramped quarters on Proctor Street Saturday to the old Sallie Zetterower school building at the intersection of Gentilly Road and East Jones Ave.The Food Bank will occupy the school’s cafeteria and kitchen area, said Joe Bill Brannon, and he expects to be open Monday. Brannon is the agency’s vice president of procurement and self-proclaimed “chief go-fer and bottle washer.” Brannon, a dedicated volunteer for the Food Bank for many years, said the agency outgrew the small cottage on Proctor Street” about four years ago.”A recent agreement with the Bulloch County Board of Education after the new Sallie Zetterower Elementary opened on Cawana Road in January, allows the Food Bank to spread its wings.
