Retail Pick-up program
Ozarks Food Harvest leads the way for Feeding America food banks when it comes to its Retail Pick-Up Program. We were one of the first food banks in the U.S. to establish a program of this kind, serving as a pilot food bank for Walmart. The program partners with retailers to rescue food that is no longer sellable, but does remain safe for consumption.

Businesses, organizations, churches and individuals host food and fund drives to help The Food Bank each year. Did you know that in FY 2019, 287 food and fund drives were hosted, collecting 181 tons of food?
