Missouri Farm Bureau teams up with Feeding Missouri to knock hunger out of the park for Missourians

Posted

The number of Missourians facing hunger would fit into Busch Stadium more than 20 times. Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance recognizes the need to obtain and distribute food to hungry families across the state. 

For the 11th consecutive year, insurance agents, customer service representatives, regional coordinators and many volunteers are accepting donations through April 24 at area county offices. The 2026 Home Run Against Hunger campaign is one of several events Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance organizes annually to help those in need.

Unfortunately, one in every five Missouri children are faced with not knowing when they will eat their next meal on a regular basis. You can help provide hope by donating. Missouri’s food banks are working to provide relief to many families struggling to make ends meet but they can’t do it alone. A donation of only $25 can provide up to 100 meals to our neighbors in need.

Help us fight hunger in our county. The most-needed items include: canned meat, canned fruits and vegetables, beans, rice, cereal, peanut butter, soups and pasta. Drop off your donations (food or funds) at our office between now and April 24 at 1050 East Veterans Memorial Parkway, Truesdale, the office of Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance agents John Nordwald and Molly Love.

During the campaign’s final days, each Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance office will deliver donations to a local pantry. A statewide grand total of donations in pounds will be announced along with total monetary donations. Last year’s efforts garnered nearly 1.5 tons of food and over $17,500.
