Description
Hello!

Did you know that one hour of volunteer time helps the Food Bank provide 105 meals to those in need? Ozarks Food Harvest is the only food bank in southwest Missouri, serving more than 300 nonprofit members across 28 Ozarks counties. The Food Bank reaches more than 14,000 individuals weekly and distributes nine million pounds of food annually--this would not be possible without generous volunteers like YOU!

Whether you can give a few hours monthly, or commit to a weekly schedule, your gift of time helps Transform Hunger into Hope for Children, Families and Seniors in need. Visit www.ozarksfoodharvest.org/how-to-help/volunteer to see our schedule and register. Call (417) 865-3411 or email us at volunteer@ozarksfoodharvest.org
