Michael Pfleger said the absence of a pantry would have been too great a loss for the Auburn Gresham community. He said the church decided to step out on faith and reopen it at the cost of $400,000 per year.
Pfleger said the past two weeks were spent hiring new staff, painting the walls and adding more refrigerators. "It's a lot more friendly and open to the people," Lee said. "It's kind of rough on everybody with the cost of food, so a little extra food can go a long way in anyone's home right about now."
