A four-alarm fire destroyed the River City Food Bank, at 1322 27th Street in downtown Sacramento and damaged offices of the Episcopal Diocese of Northern California, including Bishop Barry Beisner’s office at 1318 27th Street on October 21st.

The fire was centered on “The Annex,” where communications, youth and young adult ministry services, and the Episcopal Foundation of Northern California and other offices were housed.
