Food pantry space and funding needs
Summary
Osceola Response Team operator Richard Hur told commissioners his pantry served about 1,160 people last month and he's turning away food donations for lack of space. He asked the city for a building and small monthly funding; commissioners pointed him to the community benefit fund process and suggested partnering with other nonprofits, while the city manager said the city has no spare space.

Impact analysis
Hur requested even $1,000–$2,000 per month in ongoing funding help; the city has a rolling community benefit fund grant process he can apply to.
The 1,000+ residents a month who rely on the pantry would benefit from more space and steady funding.
Food-insecure families lose access when the pantry must refuse donated food it cannot store.
