Join us in supporting our community, giving back to those who need it the most this holiday. The Food Bank serves around 100,000 people a month and covers a 32-county service area. It shared more than 21 million meals with neighbors last year. Right now, the need is significant and continues to grow.

From 6a-6p, we’ll be teaming with Inside Columbia Magazine and Columbia Professional Firefighters, collecting donations at the Columbia Mall just off Stadium (by Wendy’s).  There will also be donation locations INSIDE the Mall (between JCP and the Food Court), as well as in front of Buchheit off Missouri Blvd. in Jefferson City.

The easiest and most impactful way you can give is with an online monetary donation. With The Food Bank’s partnerships, they can turn a $1 donation into 3 meals, or $25 into 75 Meals!!
