Food insecurity affects one in five Missouri children. According to Feeding Missouri, this number increases to one in three kids in rural parts of the state. Missouri agriculture made it a mission this summer to combat these statistics through the Missouri Farmers Care (MFC) Drive to Feed Kids campaign. This volunteer, non-profit project’s mission is to raise funds for backpack programs and in-school food pantries to help children across the state in the most food-insecure households be prepared to succeed.
