The Food Bank For Central & Northeast Missouri is proud to partner with Hannibal Regional Healthcare Systems in supporting the buddy pack program with a donation of $2,500.00. This donation will benefit students in: Adair, Shelby, Schuyler, Macon and Linn Counties. Buddy Packs are pre-packaged bags with a variety of food each week — with items like easy-to-make meals, cereal and peanut butter. Buddy Packs provide food to 7,500 children each week during the academic year. The Food Bank’s focus is to reach as many students as possible and generous partnerships like Hannibal Regional helps us to accomplish that mission.
The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri is a regional disaster and hunger-relief network that distributes more than 30 million pounds of food annually to partners across a 32-county service area. A member of Feeding America, The Food Bank works with manufacturers, wholesalers, processors, growers, retailers and restaurants to secure donations and food at reduced costs. The Food Bank works with more than 145 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other agencies to ensure food gets into the hands of those who need it most. We are the only food bank in the state to provide to partner agencies at no charge.
