Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance teams up to knock hunger out of the park

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. —The number of Missourians facing hunger would fit into Busch Stadium more than 20x. Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance recognizes the need to obtain and distribute food to hungry families across the state.

For the tenth consecutive year, insurance agents and producers, customer service representatives, regional coordinators and many volunteers are accepting donations from April 2, 2025 to April 18, 2025 at area offices.

The 2025 Home Run Against Hunger campaign is one of several events Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance organizes annually to help those in need.

Unfortunately, ONE in every FIVE Missouri children are faced with not knowing when they will eat their next meal on a regular basis. You can help provide hope by donating. Missouri’s food banks are working to provide relief to many families struggling to make ends meet but they can’t do it alone.

A donation of only $25 can provide up to 100 meals to our neighbors in need.

Help fight hunger. The most-needed items include: canned meat, canned fruits and vegetables, beans, rice, cereal, peanut butter, soups and pasta. Drop off donations (food or funds) at your local Missouri Farm Bureau office between April 2, 2025 and April 18, 2025, or text MOFB2025 to 44-321.

All donations serve local communities.

During the campaign’s final days, each Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance office will deliver donations to a local pantry. A statewide grand total of donations in pounds will be announced along with total monetary donations.

Last year’s efforts garnered nearly 3.5 tons of food and over $18,500.
