If you need more nutritious food to support a healthy lifestyle, get food at no cost to you at a local pantry or other partner agency. If you want to help your neighbors, give, volunteer or join us at an event. Your part in The Food Bank community can be different every day!

How does The Food Bank help?

Food insecurity, or lack of consistent access to enough nutritious food for an active lifestyle, affects 100% of counties in the US. With the help of 200 schools and 145 partners like pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other agencies, The Food Bank acquires and distributes millions of pounds of food each year. When our neighbors find it hard to get enough nutritious food, we help fill the gaps and get this essential resource into the hands of kids, families, seniors, veterans and more.

We had a wonderful time Tuesday night at Taste of the Tigers, and we hope you did, too! We had so many wonderful restaurants, wineries, breweries and other establishments providing bites and sips from across mid-Missouri. Our vendors truly make Taste of the Tigers a special event. We can't thank them enough!

We are so grateful to DAV Charitable Service Trust for their amazing support of our VIP Veteran Pack Program. With their generous $25,000 grant, we are able to purchase food, toiletries and household goods for the 550 veterans we serve across over a dozen counties.

These boxes make a difference. A veteran and his wife recently shared with us that when they get their VIP Veteran Pack, "It's like Christmas all over again. We are very thankful for what's in the box."
