More than over 700 FFA members and ag leaders from across Missouri will work side by side, in the Assembly Hall, to package 175,000 meals to help stop food insecurity in our state!

In 2023, Missouri Farmers Care Foundation and partners proudly announced that resources were raised to provide 1,200,389 meals to help feed food-insecure children across our state through the 2023 Drive to Feed Kids.

Missouri Farmers Care is a joint effort by Missouri’s farming and agriculture community to stand together for the men and women who provide the food and jobs on which our communities depend. The Drive to Feed Kids is being managed by the Missouri Farmers Care Foundation, a 501(c)3 tax-exempt public charity.

Thursday, Aug 15

Missouri Farmers Care members, elected officials and agriculture leaders will join together to assemble family meals in the Agriculture Building.
