Free Grocery Store is looking for large shipping containers to set up a new food bank distribution model that will allow clients to walk through a structure, and everyone will be better protected from the weather.

Ideally the containers would be 40 ft, 30 ft, or 20 ft, in a configuration to total 80 feet of usable space.
