The Farmers to Families Food Box program has helped the Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri distribute 1.1 million pounds of food since it began May 15. That’s enough to feed roughly 2,800 people in need per day.
“It’s huge,” said Seth Wolfmeyer, marketing and communications manager for the Food Bank. “It’s fresh produce and dairy products, things that are difficult to obtain and that are the most appreciated by the people we’re serving.”
