For 1 in 7 children in southwest Missouri, food insecurity is a daily reality. During the week, kids are able to get through the day with school-provided breakfasts and lunches. But what happens on the weekends when those meals aren’t available? You can help ensure that at-risk children in the Ozarks have something to eat on the weekends. And this year, we need your help more than ever.
