About the St. Louis Area Foodbank

The St. Louis Area Foodbank (SLAFB) is a member of Feeding America, a national network of 200 food banks all working together for the common goal of ensuring equitable access to nutritious food. This nationwide network offers us a variety of resources, like food, funds, best practices, and gives our work a much bigger, louder voice than we could hope to have on our own. The SLAFB supports 26 counties - 14 in Missouri and 12 in Illinois - thus serving, supporting and stewarding a diverse group of stakeholders across our region, as well as serving as a member of Feeding Missouri (the 6 Feeding America Food Banks in Missouri) and Feeding Illinois (the 7 Feeding America Food Banks in Illinois).

We collect food from a variety of sources, such as manufacturers, retail stores, farmers, and individual donors. We then store, sort, and repack that food at the highest safety standards and finally distribute that food to our network of agencies and programs, which work directly with people in the community. We facilitate the movement of food safely and efficiently and offer the kinds of resources and support to our partner agencies that a single food pantry or shelter could not hope to access on its own.

VISION: A nutritionally secure Missouri and Illinois.
MISSION: Building a stronger bi-state region by nourishing people, empowering communities, and transforming systems.

• Competitive pay commensurate with experience.
