When it became evident that a larger space was needed, the City of Princeton offered a room at the Historical Mille Lacs County Depot building, rent-free.  It was much larger than what was used at the church and the pantry operated from that location for the next 10 years. Once again, however, that location became too small to meet the needs of the community.

Spencer Brook United Methodist Church in Princeton was given a large amount of money by a benefactor to give away. The church chose to give the Pantry $20,000 if the Pantry could raise another $20,000. The board members were able to raise the money, which allowed the Pantry to purchase the building at it's current location (104 6th Ave. S.) - five times larger than the location at the depot.

The Princeton Pantry has been located at its current location for the past 15 years, and as history continues to repeat itself, needs more space.
