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 past few years have shown us just how unpredictable life can be. Families who never imagined they would need food assistance are now turning to The Food Bank for help. Prices rise, jobs change and circumstances shift—but hunger remains a reality for too many across the Ozarks. Recurring donations play a critical role in meeting the needs of our community.
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.
As we transition from the holiday season into 2024, Ozarks Food Harvest is still serving more than 70,000 individuals each month – nearly 20,000 more than during the height of the COVID-19 crisis. People are experiencing the daunting challenges of winter, including higher utility bills, childcare, housing and food costs. Although thousands of donors and volunteers helped us during the holiday season to ensure families could put a meal on the table, there’s still work to be done.
Ozarks Food Harvest’s monthly donors play a critical role in meeting the needs of our neighbors facing hunger. While every donation makes an impact, consistent monthly giving through our Harvest Circle Program allows The Food Bank to plan ahead and respond to immediate needs.
It takes all of us to tackle the issue of hunger in our community. This is why we are asking our supporters to pledge to help us provide food for 261,300 people this year.
