A number of organizations are stepping in to help families facing hardships during the COVID-19 pandemic.
St. Louis Area Foodbank, which covers 14 counties in Missouri and 12 in Illinois, has ramped up efforts to serve thousands more by expanding partnerships and recruiting more volunteers to help with Mobile Markets. The list below shows Mobile Markets available to anyone who needs a helping hand for the week of May 18.
Unlike a typical food pantry, no ID is required. People who arrive by vehicle are asked to open their trunks and stay in their vehicles until the food. If you do not have a vehicle, please check with the organization hosting the mobile market to see if they are accepting walk-ups.
Mobile Markets typically last two to three hours or until supplies run out.
