Donate non-perishable food items to the St. Louis Area Foodbank

The St. Louis Area Foodbank’s mission is to feed hungry people by distributing food through their partner agencies, and educate the public about the nature of and solutions to the problem of hunger. They distribute food and personal care items to more than 500 agencies including food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other nonprofit feeding programs within their 26-county territory. Unfortunately, one in eight people in the bi-state region is in need of food assistance. You can help by bringing food items with you to the St. Charles Home Show. Please bring non-perishable food in non-breakable containers.
