A mobile food distribution site that operates once a month in Topeka is temporarily moving to a new spot.
The mobile food pantry sponsored by the Central Topeka Turnaround Team and Topeka Bible Church that typically sets up once a month outside the Stormont Vail Events Center will instead temporarily be serving food from the former Gordmans parking lot, 3245 S.W. Topeka Blvd.
According to Delores Smith, a turnaround team volunteer who leads the monthly food distribution effort, they had to make the move because the events center is being used as a health care hub to administer COVID-19 vaccinations. She thanked Henry McClure, of McClure Real Estate, for helping her team of volunteers secure the parking lot outside the former Gordmans.
