Feeding Missouri is a coalition of the six Missouri Food Banks working to provide hunger relief to every county (and St. Louis City) in the state.

Collectively, we distribute over 120 million pounds of food each year through a network of more than 1,500 community feeding programs.

It’s simple, Food Banks cannot feed hungry Missourians without your help.

Below, find three easy ways you can make a difference:

Donate

It takes a significant amount of resources to collect, store, and transport over 120 million pounds of food across the entire state. Missouri’s food banks rely heavily upon private support from individuals like you. A financial contribution to Feeding Missouri will have an impact on hungry people across the entire state. If you’d like to donate, see the form below.

Feeding Missouri is a 501(c)(3) organization.

Volunteer

We are a voice for the nearly 1 million Missourians who seek emergency food assistance every year. This assistance is delivered through the six Food Banks and a network of over 1,000 local agencies. The Food Banks are always looking for donations of time. Volunteeting is a great way to get involved in your community and have an impact on those around you.

Advocate

You can be an advocate by informing your neighbors, community leaders, and lawmakers of the prevalence of hunger in Missouri and how it impacts our state’s economy, productivity, and health.

    Educate

    Part of Feeding Missouri’s mission is to educate people on the issue of hunger in Missouri. 1 in 7 people and 1 in 6 children struggles with hunger in Missouri. Elected officials can have a huge impact on the response to hunger. It is on us to keep it on the forefront of their minds so together, we can stamp out hunger. Help us keep our elected officials and your community educated.

    You can contact your legislators through the General Assembly’s website.
