After 43 years at 905 Yuma Street, and a $3.1 million community campaign, the organization has moved into remodeled space at the former Furniture Warehouse, 2326 Skyvue Lane.
“We’re ready to kick things off and to welcome guests into the space,” said executive director Karla Hagemeister.
The Breadbasket hosted an open house Wednesday to unveil the expanded space after Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce officials had a ribbon cutting.
