The St. Louis Area Foodbank is a busy place. There is a lot of work to be done in the effort to create a pathway to nutritional security for those in need in our community. We have so many exciting projects and new developments in the works to share. Our President & CEO, Meredith Knopp, takes a moment each month to highlight an important aspect of what we’re doing in the bi-state area. To see what we’ve been up to, check out the blog posts below.
