You Can Help Tornado Victims
On Saturday, August 16, Operation Food Search (OFS) will team up with the local grocery store industry to host Shop Out Hunger, a region-wide food drive to help heal summer hunger in our community. OFS will join forces with the Community Council of St. Charles, Jefferson County, Franklin County Hunger Task Force to strengthen our impact in our region.
Operation Food Search needs Volunteer Help to help collect donations outside of 140 grocery stores throughout the St. Louis bi-state area to ask shoppers to donate food as they shop on Saturday, August 16th from 10 AM - 2 PM. This is a great volunteer opportunity for a church group, corporate group, or family to get the kids involved! We do our best to match your group with a grocery store close to your neighborhood.
We are seeking individuals and groups of 4-6 volunteers. If you have a group, simply assign a store captain that will coordinate the group and choose a shift (10 AM - 12 PM OR 12 -2 PM OR 10 AM-2PM).
There is no expense for your group! All necessary materials will be available at the grocery store customer service desk.
Interested in volunteering? Please click HERE to sign up on this opportunity and we will reach out and work on finding the best store and times to set you up for!
Another Way You Can Help
Fie Motiei, our Co-Executive Director, posted a letter on all the homes in her neighborhood asking them to donate supplies for Tornado victims for Action Saint Louis to distribute.
They were able to donate 996 cleaning supply items to Action St. Louis on May 29. And you can do the same in your location.
