WHY DONORS GIVE

Heading

This is some text inside of a div block.

WHY DONORS GIVE

I don't know where I would be or if I 'would be' if I hadn't made that first phone call to Food Outreach. Since then I have never been without food.

58 years old, Cancer client

WHY DONORS GIVE

I was diagnosed with cancer, and my world was shattered. At one point I had to go to hotels looking for 'free' continental breakfasts. My prayer for food was answered when the Siteman Cancer Center referred me to Food Outreach.

42 years old, Cancer client

WHY DONORS GIVE

Food Outreach has had a life-altering effect on me. I now look forward to getting up in the morning. I feel like people really do care about me and my health.

61 years old, HIV/AIDS client

WHY DONORS GIVE

When I first got HIV, I felt like my life was over. Food Outreach changed all that. They treat me like a friend, and help me take care of myself. I eat more fruit now. The mandarin oranges are awesome.
