Continuing our relationship with the St. Louis Area Foodbank to distribute USDA commodities and discounted products from area grocery stores to our clients. During the summer we work with Operation Food Search to establish two locations in Carondelet and Patch for the Mobile Summer Meals Program which ensured school aged children continued to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session.

CCBF planned and benefited from multiple food drives throughout the year which were held by area schools, churches, businesses and social clubs. These food drives collected over 5,000 canned goods to supplement the growing need to feed the hungry. Volunteers logged over 1,210 hours of service in the food pantry alone.

To supplement the food pantry with fresh produce we created a garden in 2016 in our backyard to distribute fresh organic produce to food pantry clientele. This garden is overseen by CCBF staff and tended by volunteers, local urban farmers, CCBF Board members and staff.

CCBF was awarded multiple two-year substantial grants from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines to provide substantial repairs for special needs homeowners (those 62 and over or disabled) in St. Louis city. (zip codes 63111, 63116 and 63118)
