Sharing food and bringing hope

The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri is a regional disaster and hunger relief network that acquires and distributes millions of pounds of food annually to partner agencies across a 32-county area.

As a member of Feeding America, The Food Bank is able to work with manufacturers, wholesalers, processors, growers, retailers and restaurants to secure donations and food at reduced costs.

The Food Bank partners with more than 145 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other agencies to ensure food gets into the hands of those who need it most. The Food Bank also works with nearly 200 schools to help students receive nutritious food. We provide food at no charge to our partners, which means hunger-relief organizations across our service area can afford to operate.

Through empowerment, education and partnerships, The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri brings together community resources to feed people in need.
