Farm Bureau offices across the state are accepting donations to fight hunger through April 18.
The 2025 Home Run Against Hunger campaign is one of several events Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance organizes annually to help those in need. About one in five Missouri children regularly does not know when they will eat their next meal.
A donation of $25 can provide up to 100 meals. The most-needed items include: Canned meat, canned fruits and vegetables, beans, rice, cereal, peanut butter, soups and pasta.
In Houston, the Farm Bureau office is at 6785 U.S. 63. Donations can also be texted to MOFB2025 to 44-321.
Donations serve local communities. During the campaign’s final days, each Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance office will deliver donations to a local pantry. A statewide grand total of donations in pounds will be announced along with total monetary donations. Last year’s efforts garnered nearly 3.5 tons of food and over $18,500.
