Giddo Simon Ministries (GSM) is more than just a nonprofit. It is personal. Our Dad,
George Simon, also known as “Giddo Simon” worked at Soulard Market almost his
entire life. Over the years, as we grew, we watched him GIVE away produce to families
who couldn’t afford food, give to the homeless, shelters, and food pantries. He gave it
away in the back of the stand, told customers to pay when they could, and he always
bought extra produce to give away to food pantries. He LOVED giving. It was his life and
legacy. So, this is what GSM is about. After his passing in 2016, his ten children and their
families decided to continue his legacy and increase the number of people we serve. At
the start of the ministry in 2017, GSM provided fresh produce to one food pantry. At this
time, GSM is serving multiple food pantries, one school and a community outreach
program.
Giddo Simon Ministries is a non-profit striving to continue the generosity Of George "Giddo" Simon by feeding the hungry in our community and serving those in need.
