We Are Here To Help!
Operation Food Search connects people to food through a network of more than 330 community partners
across 25 counties in Missouri and Illinois. While we don’t distribute food directly to the public at our headquarters, we make sure nutritious food reaches the pantries, schools, and community sites where families can access it.
Whether you’re looking for a
local pantry
, a
free child meal site
, or a
low-cost MetroMarket stop
, we’re here to help you find the option that fits your needs.
*Please note,
we do not distribute food directly to the public
at our OFS facility.
