Give Time
We are grateful for your interest in helping the St. Louis Area Foodbank ease food insecurity across our region. Our efforts would not be possible without volunteers of all ages and abilities.
Whether you volunteer to sort and pack meals, help with distribution, or donate your own talents, it is easy to see the positive impact you are making in the lives of our neighbors and communities. In 2021, volunteers helped the St. Louis Area Foodbank provide over 41 million meals across 26 counties in Missouri and Illinois by donating more than 62,000 hours of service.
