The St. Louis Area Foodbank is happy to announce that we now have a food pantry in Lincoln County.  The much-needed Lincoln County Cupboard will open in February 2002.  Because there is such a great need in that area, and there hadn't been a source for food, the Foodbank, along with volunteers from the Lincoln County Cupboard had a mass distribution on January 29, 2002.

During the 4-hour distribution, the Pantry served more than 166 familes.   All of the families were given at least 2 huge boxes of food and assorted household items -- with larger familes receiving even more.
