We invite you to join the 2024 Drive to Feed Kids. The effort to highlight Missouri agriculture and inspire youth to help stand in the gap for those facing food insecurity is full steam ahead. To kick off the year, Drive partner Missouri 4-H raised the equivalent of 291,735 meals during their spring effort. 

Opportunities abound for you to expand the impact of the Drive this summer.

• Sponsorship opportunities are available. Please visit https://mofarmerscare.com/drive_sponsor/ or reach out if your organization would like to join the ’24 Drive. 
• Partners and members can help out with the Drive by liking and sharing our posts on social media – including upcoming opportunities for exhibitors to donate hogs to Hogs for Hunger.
