Bayer Fund supports access to healthy and nutritious foods through high-quality food and nutrition programs. These programs provide support to families in need and rural and underserved communities.
Operation Food Search was awarded $75,000 in grant funding to support its MetroMarket program. MetroMarket uses a retrofitted metro bus to travel to areas in the St. Louis community to provide fresh, affordable produce to people with limited access to healthy food. In 2023, the MetroMarket program served more than 30,000 individuals in the St. Louis community among the 226 mobile and pop-up locations.
“Bayer Fund’s support has been game-changing for our organization,” said Kristen Wild, President and CEO of Operation Food Search. “By enabling our work to increase food access through the MetroMarket program, Bayer Fund makes it possible for us to provide innovative solutions to longstanding issues of food insecurity. We are truly grateful for their belief in our mission to heal hunger.” Learn more…
