An amazing thing happened at Amazing Grace Food Pantry in Wylie Nov. 19. After 10 years of reaching out to serve the food insecure in Collin County, the pantry broke ground on a building that will be its new center, giving it the ability to better serve those in need.

The foundation will be poured in the next few weeks for a 3,200 square foot metal building on the property at 1711 Parker Rd. where they currently assist clients. The new facility will feature a walk-in cooler, industrial size freezers, a utility room, conference room, offices, restrooms, and a lobby with a client intake area.
