Spread good cheer in the community by making a year-end gift to Ozarks Food Harvest. We’re incredibly thankful for the gifts we receive from our generous donors throughout the year, but with 2020 on the horizon, we ask you to consider making one final gift for your hungry neighbors before the year ends.
Thank you SO much to everyone who donated on #GivingTuesday!
The Good Samaritan food pantry and thrift stop in Lamar, MO has been serving Barton County since the early 1980s. Each week, the pantry distributes food and offers hope to families struggling with hunger.
Make this holiday season extra special by sending a note to families receiving food from our pantry partners. We’re grateful for you, and families in need are, too!
Giving Tuesday is just a few weeks away! You can help provide meals and hope for families facing hunger in the Ozarks by making a donation on Tuesday, Dec. 3.
After the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday pass, take a moment to give back to those in need. This day of global giving was created in 2012 to encourage people to do good.
If you would like to support Ozarks Food Harvest on Giving Tuesday, visit our donate page or make a donation through our Facebook fundraiser. We need your help to reach our goal of raising $15,000! And thanks to a gift from Feeding Missouri, every donation up to $5,000 will be matched. That means a five-dollar gift will help provide 40 meals!
Thank you for your continued support of hunger relief in the Ozarks, and happy holidays.
