Emergency Food Drive 2020

 

Because of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) crisis, we are already seeing a downturn in community food donations in excess of 75,000 pounds of food. When translated to the family table, that means we can serve 19,000 fewer people than we could last week.

We welcome food donations at our warehouse. Non-perishable food and household supplies can be dropped off at OFS at 1644 Lotsie Blvd., Overland, MO 63132 from M-F 8:30am-6pm. See list of Most-Needed Items and Not-Accepted Items.

Please do not donate food if you have been near anyone who has been sick in the last two weeks or if you or anyone in your household has travelled out of the region in the last few weeks. We encourage you to use social-distancing guidelines when visiting our warehouse by remaining six feet away from other people. Food can be placed in our blue bins inside our vestibule.

When collecting food, consider organizing a neighborhood porch drop and then having one person bring items to OFS.
