At the St. Louis Area Foodbank, we are working to build a stronger bi-state region by nourishing people, empowering communities, and transforming systems. With the dedicated partnership of nearly 600 hunger-relief programs and local agencies - including soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, and residential programs - we are responding to hunger in communities across 26 counties in Missouri and Illinois by distributing food to more than 400,000 people every year.

The St. Louis Area Foodbank (SLAFB) supports 26 counties - 14 in Missouri and 12 in Illinois - serving a diverse group of stakeholders across our region. The Foodbank collects food from manufacturers, retail stores, farmers, and individual donors. That food is safely stored, sorted, repackaged, and distributed to agencies and programs that work directly with people in the community. The Foodbank facilitates the movement of food safely and efficiently and offers resources and support to partner agencies that a single food pantry or shelter could not hope to access on its own.
