A food pantry that serves hungry and elderly residents in mid-Missouri’s Callaway County is seeing a surge in visits, following last week’s subfreezing temperatures and snowy weather.

SERVE’s food pantry in Fulton reopened this week to a long line of vehicles that stretched down the street. SERVE continues to encourage community donations and volunteer support to ensure that no family goes hungry. They say the need for food is higher than ever.

SERVE’s website says SERVE was founded in 1971 by a group of local pastors and churches in Callaway County.
