Overview

Mission

This organization is an incorporated non-profit that was established in the state of Missouri on march 9, 2012. It first started in 1998 and was formerly operated as an organization sponsored by the vienna ministerial alliance as loaves and fishes food pantry. Originally, Missouri ozarks community action was administering the local food pantry but was unable to maintain the program due to a shortage of resources, staff, and storage to continue with the local food pantry. Almost 15 years later, the newly formed loaves & fishes food pantry of maries county, inc. Was organized. The by-laws were created and adopted shortly before being incorporated on february 8, 2012. The organization's purpose is to distribute food to the residents of maries county, Missouri, and residents of the surrounding communities who wish to apply and meet the federal income eligibility guidelines.
