We Offer Two Ways To Eat Free!

Who  We  Are  &  What  We  Do

We are a diverse, yet loving and cheerful crew of volunteers of all ages, stages, beliefs and occupations including retired people. We live and work in Columbia, Missouri, and we like to see everyone fed, warm and sheltered.

Our all-volunteer group serves hungry folks in Columbia with overstocked vegetables from our national #1 award-winning Farmer's Market and Clover's Natural Foods Market, among other merchants & farmers who donate to us. Our food and vitamin supplements are healthy & very good eating.  We eat what we harvest!

YOU BELONG HERE. Especially if you're...

* unsheltered/homeless

* babies, kids & teens

* disabled 

* LGBTQIA+ 

* veterans 

* elders 

* experiencing illness, including long Covid

* struggling & going through hard times

We stand AGAINST putting good food, clothing and nutritional supplements in landfills, and against anyone in our community being hungry, cold or without resources. We genuinely care about our neighbors. No matter their circumstances.  

For us, it's a simple equation - use these already written-off resources to serve those who need them. 

Plus, in Columbia, we are connected to knowledgeable social workers, psychologists, ministers, community leaders and activists. Feel free to ask any of us questions. Our experienced volunteer Free Hot Meals and Free Downtown Market workers can direct you to loads of state and local help.

It's all available at our Resource Page.
