Feeding Hope Initiatives

Ozarks Food Harvest has a stated mission of Transforming Hunger into Hope™

The simple statement serves as a visionary and meaningful summary of Ozarks Food Harvest's goals, while expressing exactly what it is The Food Bank does. Founded in 1983, Ozarks Food Harvest (OFH) is the only food bank in southwest Missouri, serving more than 300 nonprofit hunger relief organizations across 28 Ozarks counties. The Food Bank reaches more than 155,000 individuals and distributes 8.5 million pounds of food annually—made possible due to its Network of charities and direct-relief programs such as the Weekend Backpack Program™, Kids Cafe®,and the Mobile Food Pantry™ program.

Donated food is unloaded and stored at Ozarks Food Harvest’s warehouse.		Charitable programs come to The Food Bank to select food or OFH delivers it to them.		Hunger relief agencies give food to those in need.
