Talk about a great hunting trip with an even better ending!

Sisters Lacey and Hailey each harvested a doe during Missouri’s antlerless season and donated their deer to Share the Harvest. Their donations will help put nutritious food on the table for neighbors facing hunger across our region.

Share the Harvest turns a successful hunt into meals for Missouri families. Hunters can donate all or part of their deer at a participating meat processor, where the venison is processed and distributed through food banks and pantries. One deer can provide about 160 meals!

Venison is a valuable source of protein, helping families access nutritious food they might not otherwise have. We’re grateful to Lacey, Hailey and all the hunters who make this program possible!

Want to help, too? The Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation has Share the Harvest knives available for the first 100 donors who contribute at least $125 to help cover processing fees. Donations to this effort are monetary only.

Every donation helps get more nutritious protein to neighbors who need it. https://mochf.org/share-the-harvest-donations/

From the farm to the table, farmers play an important role in keeping our communities fed.

This Farmer Appreciation Day, we’re grateful for the farmers across Southeast Missouri who work hard to grow the food we all depend on and who generously support neighbors facing hunger.

Their generosity helps Southeast Missouri Food Bank provide nutritious food to families, children and seniors across our region.

We’re grateful for the work that happens in the fields and for the many ways farmers help care for their communities.

Thank you, farmers, for all you do!

Volunteers help keep food moving to the neighbors who need it across Southeast Missouri. From sorting food donations to packing food to get it ready to be distributed, their time and hard work help make it all possible.

We’re thankful for everyone who gives their time to support our work and help feed families throughout our 16-county service area.

A special thank you to this week’s volunteers, including groups from Alpha Phi Alpha, DAEOC, Farm Credit Southeast Missouri, Jackson Missouri Area Chamber Of Commerce Leadership Jackson, Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, and Scott City R-1 Schools GAS.

We’re proud to partner with the Cape Girardeau Career & Technology Center (CTC) for this year’s Empty Bowls!

For CTC Culinary Arts students, the event is an opportunity to put their classroom skills to work in a real community setting. They’ll gain hands-on experience preparing and serving food while practicing teamwork, food safety and sanitation.

“We’re proud to be part of an event that brings people together to help our neighbors,” said Lindsey Yount, Culinary Arts Instructor at Cape Girardeau Career & Technology Center. “My hope, as their instructor, is that they leave this experience proud of their work and knowing that something as simple as a bowl of soup can help someone feel cared for.”

We’re grateful to Lindsey and her students for being part of Empty Bowls and for sharing their skills with our community.

Empty Bowls is Friday, Nov. 6, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the SEMO Food Bank Jackson office.

🍲 Tickets are $15 for dine-in or carry-out, or $16 for delivery in Cape County with a minimum order.

🎟️ Get your tickets today:

Thank you to the Cape CTC Culinary Arts students and to Southern Bank, our Full Table Sponsor, for helping make Empty Bowls possible. We hope to see you there!
