Programs and Services to End Hunger in St. Louis
Last year, we provided more than 35 million meals to needy families in 26 counties in Missouri and Illinois.
We work with more than 500 partner organizations and programs in our region to feed people and fight food insecurity. Our goal is to increase access to nutritious food while improving the quality of life for our neighbors in need.

Partner Agencies
We partner with over 300 community feeding organizations across the 26 counties we serve in Missouri and Illinois. More than 700 partners across Cook County ensure that nutritious food is available all year to our neighbors in need.
Mobile Programs
Mobile distribution allows us to deliver fresh and nutritious food directly to clients living in areas with limited access to fresh foods like produce, meat and dairy.
Seniors
Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) boxes contain nutrient-rich foods to low-income seniors. This program prevents many area seniors from having to choose between paying for food or other necessities, such as medicine or utilities.
SNAP Outreach
For every meal the Foodbank provides, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides twelve. We recognize how vital this program is to our food insecure neighbors, so we coordinate and assist with SNAP applications in all 26 counties we serve.
Children
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) ensures that low-income children continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session.
Transitional Housing
We make the transition from a shelter to a home easier by providing families with a month’s supply of food and household items.
TEFAP
The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) is a federal program that helps supplement the diets of low-income Americans by providing them nutrition assistance at no cost.
