New Home For Lake Placid Food Pantry, Thrift Shop

Both the Lake Placid Ecumenical Food Pantry and the shuttered Helping Hands Thrift Shop will have a new home by next winter. The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reports a 3,000 square foot building is slated to go up where the Lake Placid Central School District’s basketball courts are currently located, next to the Shipman Youth Center. New basketball courts will be installed in a different location. The new building will house the food pantry on one side and the thrift shop on the other, with a basement space for community meetings and a garage.
