Most agencies would be unable to handle a full truckload at once, and most large donors only want to donate full truckloads at a time. In this way food banks provide a service to both donors and hunger relief agencies, meeting the donors need to move the product, and allowing agencies to receive a variety of foods in smaller quantities. This supports the cost of operating their facilities. The Central Missouri Food Bank is the only food bank in the America's Second Harvest network of 185 US food banks that does not charge a fee to their member agencies. Every product and service from the Central Missouri Food Bank is free of charge.
Donations support the entire operation.
The Mission of the Central Missouri Food Bank is to feed the hungry, without expense to them. If you would like to help support this mission, you may make a tax deductible Donation here.
