Friends Church relocation to historic warehouse
Summary
Friends Church Orange is moving across Almond Avenue into the old 'hangar' warehouse, an adaptive reuse project that drew zero opposition. The church runs a monthly food pantry serving about 200 families and partners with youth services; commissioners credited it with turning the packing house from the city's top crime spot into a community asset.
