As one person put it, it was a bit of a shock to us.

The NDG food depot has to find a new home.

Depot workers say a building inspector told them the landlord has sold the building.

The acting director of the depot says it won't be easy moving after being at the same location for 20 years.

She says they want to stay in NDG, that they want it to be accessible to beneficiaries, adding a location near a metro or major boulevard would be ideal.

The depot can apparently stay at its current location until June even though it has a lease that runs until March.

Hundreds of people rely on the depot every week.
