The food bank serves 32 counties, including Boone, Cole and virtually all of the counties in the 939 the Eagle listening area. Boone County is seeing a major increase in food insecurity. The Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri says more than 3,700 Boone County families who did not receive assistance in 2021 needed assistance this year. That’s about 9,000 people.
