The former location of the Indiana Roller Skating Rink and Bell Supply company has been transformed into office space for ICCAP and storage space for the food that is needed for distribution to the community. Michelle Faught, the ICCAP executive director said that the current food bank is much larger than the warehouse on South 6th Street.
ICCAP President Cheryl McCabe said it wasn’t just the facility that makes sure that the hungry in Indiana County are fed, but it is the volunteers and staff that work inside it.

The facility was funded through various grants and donations on the local and state level.
