Follow on Google News | The Battlegrounds Mud Run Collects Food For Operation Food SearchSixth bi-annual race holds canned food drive to support community.
By: The Battlegrounds The canned food was sent to Agape Ministry of Warren County, which feeds approximately 1,000 Warren County residents each month at its food pantries located in Warrenton and Wright City. “Our runners are a group of good-hearted individuals who came from 26 different states,” said The Battlegrounds’ Operation Food Search was established in 1981 to address the growing problem of hunger in the St. Louis area. As the largest distributor of free food in the bi-state area, the organization distributes more than three million pounds of food and household essentials to nearly 250 community partner agencies, which in turn feed 190,000 poor people each month, nearly one-third of whom are children. For every dollar donated by individuals, corporations, foundations and organizations, OFS provides $21 worth of food and nutrition services to support the hungry.
