Ozarks Food Harvest’s monthly donors play a critical role in meeting the needs of our community. While every donation makes an impact, monthly giving through our Harvest Circle Program allows The Food Bank to plan ahead and respond to needs as they arise.

Monthly giving is an easy way to get involved. When you sign up for Harvest Circle, you save time and postage by setting up automatic payments. It also allows you to plan the amount you give each month if a larger one-time donation doesn’t fit your budget, with the option to change or stop at any time.

Monthly commitments give The Food Bank flexibility to plan for both long-term and immediate needs, such as the increased demand for food assistance. Due to a perfect storm of issues, Ozarks Food Harvest is now serving 70,000 people each month – higher than the peak of the pandemic. Harvest Circle donors have allowed The Food Bank to keep pace with demand and ensure families have a meal to put on the table.

Setting your monthly donation is a one-time action that provides continuous support to neighbors like Linda, who shared, “I’m 78-years-old and The Food Bank makes a big difference in what I’m able to spend for groceries, which isn’t a lot. The Food Bank definitely makes a world of difference for me to have healthy food.”

By joining Harvest Circle, you’re helping end hunger. You can set your monthly commitment knowing that every dollar helps provide three meals to neighbors facing hunger in southwest Missouri. Thank you for helping Ozarks Food Harvest Transform Hunger into Hope.
