Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri officials say the need for food is greater than ever and continues to grow.
Today is your opportunity to donate food or money at the annual 939 the Eagle Commerce Bank one-for-one holiday food drive to benefit the food bank. 939 the Eagle and all of our Zimmer mid-Missouri radio stations have personnel at Columbia Mall today through 6 pm. We’re teaming up again with the Columbia Professional Firefighters and with our news partner KMIZ to collect donations that day both outside the mall and inside the mall.
Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri president Lindsay Lopez tells 939 the Eagle that hunger is real and is prevalent in our community, adding more people than ever need help with food. Their new food bank market on Columbia’s Business Loop served 350 families on opening day in November.
You can also donate today through the Missouri Pork Association’s phone bank by calling (573) 447-6600.
