Key takeaway The organization's aging HVAC system, estimated to be around 80 years old, is in need of replacement.
Redford Interfaith Relief, a local food pantry, is facing a challenge to stay open this winter. The organization's aging HVAC system, estimated to be around 80 years old, is in need of replacement.
