Nourishing People.
Empowering Communities.
Transforming Systems.

St. Louis Area Foodbank is building a stronger bi-state region by nourishing people, empowering communities, and transforming systems.

We’re building a nutritionally secure Missouri and Illinois

With the dedicated partnership of over 600 hunger-relief programs and local agencies – including soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, and residential programs – we are responding to hunger in communities across 26 counties in Missouri and Illinois by distributing food to hundreds of thousands of people each year.
