One in six adults and one in five children in Missouri experience food insecurity, and for the third consecutive year, Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance teamed up with Feeding Missouri to help.
Insurance producers and customer service representatives across the state collected donations throughout April and May at their local offices. Donations were locally distributed to Feeding Missouri’s partner agencies.
The statewide food drive wrapped up this week with a total of 31,891 pounds or 15.9 tons of non-perishable food and $6,049 in donations. The Houston Farm Bureau office donated 121 pounds of food.
