Follow on Google News | The Battlegrounds Raises Funds for Operation Food SearchNearly 800 pounds of food also collected for St. Louis non-profit agency
By: The Battlegrounds In addition to the canned food drive, proceeds from The Battlegrounds race totaled a $2,300 donation to the organization. More than 1,500 runners from 32 states and six countries participated in the race. 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. "Operation Food Search is an excellent charitable partner for our race," said The Battlegrounds' owner Carl Bolm. "Runners enthusiastically participate in our food drive that benefits local children and families suffering from food insecurity." Operation Food Search (OFS) is a hunger relief organization that provides food and nutrition education. Founded in 1981, OFS helps feed more than 200,000 individuals on a monthly basis – one-third of which are children – through a network of 330 community partners in 31 Missouri and Illinois counties, as well as in the city of St. Louis. The Battlegrounds is located at 11008 Schreckengast Rd. in Wright City, Mo. next to Cedar Lake Cellars winery and event venue.
