"South Sacramento area businesses and nonprofits are getting ready to feel the effects of the upcoming closure of Campbell\u2019s soup plant.On Franklin Boulevard, business owners at Mexican restaurants and smaller grocery stores said Thursday that employees of Campbell\u2019s shop or dine at their businesses everyday.None had any idea how they would replace the lost business from those patrons. The closure of the Campbell\u2019s plant will mean 700 people will lose their jobs between now and July, 2013.Nearby, at a 24th Street food pantry run by the Southside Interfaith Partnership, pantry coordinator Pattie Shaw said she has bought soup from Campbell\u2019s for a discounted price of just $1 per case for years. That doesn\u2019t include the pallets of soup -- thousands of cans -- that Campbell\u2019s delivers to the pantry during the holidays.The situation is doubly difficult for Shaw and directors of other food pantries across the Sacramento area, because they expect not only to lose supply from Campbell\u2019s but they also expect to have to serve families of those who will lose their jobs at the soup plant."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
