You're Invited! Celebrate The Grand Opening of the Max and Drew Erlich Center Sunday

The new home for the Harvey Kornblum Food Pantry opens to the public Sunday in Creve Coeur.

A host of dignitaries are expected in Creve Coeur at the public grand opening new home of the Harvey Kornblum Food Pantry Sunday, but if you want to break in the Max Drew Erlich Center in style, all you need to do is bring non-perishable food items with you.

The center, at 10601 Bauer Road, is scheduled for a 1 p.m. ribbon cutting that will also include tours of the facility.

Local philanthropists Max and Drew Erlich made a $1 million donation to help complete the transition for the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry into a new home, not far from the current location on Schuetz Road.
