Join the Drive

Coming Together

Drive to Feed Kids launched in 2017 to bring together non-profit organizations, farmers and agricultural businesses committed to make brighter days for Missourians facing hunger. Missouri Farmers Care leverages existing food bank distribution networks by providing resources for kid-friendly meals to youth through backpack meal programs, in-school food pantries and more. The Drive to Feed Kids allows the agriculture community an opportunity to share their utilization of science and technology to responsibly produce food for our communities and world.

A Movement to Inspire

Drive to Feed Kids is than just a food drive.
It’s a movement with an impact multiplied by partnership.

Drive to Feed Kids has become a movement by inspiring youth and agriculture groups in local communities to come together and host meal packing events to serve their neighbors. Since 2020, the Drive has supported Hogs For Hunger, as Missouri Farmers Care, the Missouri Pork Association and partners unite to deliver high-quality protein to families in need. Hogs For Hunger has provided 2,720,128 servings of pork for children and families facing hunger.

An Invitation to Help

Missouri Farmers Care’s Drive to Feed Kids invites individuals, families, organizations, and businesses to join agriculture in the fight against childhood hunger in Missouri. Since its launch in 2017, the Drive has helped provide millions of meals to children and families facing food insecurity by mobilizing meal packing events, food drives, donations, and support for Feeding Missouri’s network of food banks.
