50th Anniversary

We began in 1975...
In July of 1975, the Food Crisis Network was created in recognition of the growing need for food assistance in the region. Since then, we have evolved into the St. Louis Area Foodbank. Today, we serve 26 counties throughout Eastern Missouri and Southwestern Illinois. Last year, we fed 369,633 individuals through our mobile distribution events, school markets, and partnerships with nearly 600 partner agencies.
Sponsorship Opporunities
To commemorate our 50th anniversary, we are committed to feeding 50,000 people this September in honor of Hunger Action Month. Your sponsorship feeds local children, seniors, families, and individuals in need of food assistance.
