Follow on Google News | Operation Food Search Celebrates 15-Year Partnership with St. Louis Blues and LevySt. Louis Blues games and Enterprise Center events have created a total food rescue donation of more than one million meals.
By: Operation Food Search The arena's donated food—which for a typical Blues home game averages 1,000 pounds—is either picked up by OFS or nearby St. Patrick Center and then distributed to those experiencing food insecurity. The rescued food ranges from typical concession stand fare such as hot dogs and chicken fingers to a variety of other items including pork, fruit cups, salad and more. "Operation Food Search has been a valuable community partner of ours, helping us quickly get food into the hands of those who need it most, rather than having it go uneaten," said Bruce Kraus, Vice President of Hospitality & Strategy for Levy at Enterprise Center. "We look forward to seeing this partnership continue for many years to come." "Our agency relies upon collaborations like this long-standing relationship with Levy and the St. Louis Blues to help solve the growing issue of food insecurity," Founded in 1981, Operation Food Search (OFS) is a hunger relief organization located at 1644 Lotsie Blvd. that provides free food, nutrition education and innovative programs proven to reduce food insecurity. With a strategic focus aimed at ending childhood hunger, OFS empowers families and increases access to healthy and affordable food. The agency provides food and services to 200,000 individuals on a monthly basis – one-third of whom are children – through a network of 330 community partners in 27 Missouri and Illinois counties and the city of St. Louis.
