In 2025, St Anthony Food Pantry launched a building remodel project to improve the space which the pantry operates. This is a multi-year and multi-dollar project.
The pantry has remained fully operational and continues to serve the public during the construction. Last year, we served over 45,000 individuals who were facing food insecurity.
During Phase 1, we added a new high capacity electrical panel, obtained central AC/heat, removed walls, and installed a freezer/fridge. Over the winter, we completed phase 2 of our building remodel, with a demolition of the executive director's office and the bread storage room. Now, we have a walk in freezer and fridge that helps preserve the the quality of food for our guests. We enlarged interior halls to accommodate pallets, built a freight ramp, and painted the entire basement with a fresh coat of paint.
In Phase 3, we will be remodeling space for administrative use, including a meeting/training room, volunteer break room and administrative offices – all a first for our pantry. This phase will move us into our new, full scale operations. We are exploring news ways to better serve the community with client-choice shopping, supporting our mission to serve the community with dignity, compassion, and respect.

OUR IMPACT: MEETING INCREASED DEMAND
As demand for food continues to grow, our work has expanded. Thanks to our community partnership with St. Louis Food Bank, United Way, and local grocery stores, we are able to meet this demand. Additionally, in recent years, we have had to purchase more food for the pantry beyond our partnerships. Throughout the building remodel, the pantry has remained fully operational and continues to serve the public. In 2025, we served 45,928 individuals, and in 2024 we served 40,005 individuals. So far, in 2026, we have served over 15,000 individuals.
