The Central Missouri Food Bank (CMFB) is a regional disaster and hunger relief network that acquires and distributes millions of pounds of donated food annually. CMFB distributes food to people in need through a network of 129 agencies in 31 Missouri counties. CMFB provides free food to soup kitchens, emergency food pantries, shelters for the abused and homeless, programs for low income children and senior citizens, and rehabilitation centers.
Does Missouri really have a hunger problem?
More than 94,000 people in CMFB’s service area live at or below the poverty level and are eligible to receive the food we distribute.
The food bank network predominantly serves the working poor and the elderly. A recent survey identified those using food pantry services as white, single females, between the ages of 25-55, with one or two children. These women do not receive food stamps and have an income of less than $950 per month.
In 2004, the food bank distributed more than 18.2 million pounds of food and related products which helped feed more than 64,000 people per month
