A single mom of three, Kathrine moved herself and her kids to the Ozarks to help care for her grandparents as their health declined.

This holiday season, many families in southwest Missouri are facing hunger. Some families will have to choose between putting food on the table and heating their homes. Your generous year-end gift to Ozarks Food Harvest can change that.
As you gather with loved ones to celebrate this holiday season, I encourage you to consider an investment in Ozarks Food Harvest.

For many of us, the holidays mean gathering with loved ones around a warm meal. But for 1 in 6 households in the Ozarks, this season brings difficult choices: pay the heating bill or put food on the table.

Over the last year, Ozarks Food Harvest provided 23 million meals through our network of faith-based and community charities across southwest Missouri.
