Missouri 4-H has partnered again with Feeding Missouri and the Missouri Farmers Care Drive to Feed Kids for the third annual food drive to support people across the state struggling for food. Currently, the food drive has already raised over 400,000 meals through food and cash donations. This food drive grants members of 4-H the opportunity to educate Missourians on the hardships of providing food some families face.
According to Anne Reeder, 4-H Feeding Missouri Coordinator, one in five children live in households that struggle to provide food, especially amid the COVID-19 epidemic.
The food drive runs January through April to give 4-H clubs across Missouri ample time to aid in the food crisis. Numerous 4-H troops will be hosting events and presentations until the end of April to reach their goal of 500,000 meals.
