Volunteers help Ozarks Food Harvest feed families
Each month, Ozarks Food Harvest serves 90,000 neighbors across their 28-county service area in southwest Missouri – that wouldn’t be possible without the help of dedicated volunteers.

From rising costs to job changes, neighbors who have never needed food assistance before find themselves facing barriers to putting food on the table. Ozarks Food Harvest is working hard to meet the need by serving 90,000 people each month, and with your help, we can ensure food is one less thing for families to worry about.

The Retail Pick-Up Program is important for the movement to end hunger, because there’s enough food for everyone when we work together to reduce food waste. But the success of the program requires coordination and helping hands to make it work. At Christian Action Ministries (CAM) – an Ozarks Food Harvest partner pantry – those helping hands are generous volunteers.
