Covid-19 Effort
Since mid-March, the St. Louis Area Foodbank has been mobilizing our resources to get food and supplies to people who need them in the 26 counties we serve in Missouri and Illinois. Thanks to community participation and support, we have been able to increase our distribution events and available resources for our neighbors in need.
