Food Outreach

Food Outreach is the only St. Louis-area organization providing free nutritional support to individuals of all ages facing food insecurity while living with HIV or cancer. Founded in 1988, we now provide healthy meals, dietetic counseling, and education to an average of 1,800 people annually.

Food Outreach's comprehensive and free services include our Medically Tailored Meals, groceries, and fresh produce program designed by our Chef and Registered Dietitians, individualized dietetic counseling, nutrition classes, and meal home delivery to homebound clients. Our programs provide each client with two nutritious meals per day (30 meals/biweekly; 60 meals/monthly) throughout enrollment, combined with nutrition counseling and monitoring by our registered dietitians. In 2022, Food Outreach served 1,757 clients living within 150 Missouri and Illinois zip codes (seven counties).
