Food drive in November

Throughout Lincoln County, there are community efforts to make sure that no one goes hungry. For example, there are nearly a dozen food pantries in addition to programs in each of the school districts. Due to uncertainties surrounding November SNAP funding, many food programs may be serving more people than normal during an already busy time.

In order to help ease this burden throughout the month of November, our office will be collecting donations for the following school district food programs:

  • Elsberry Operation Backpack

  • Lincoln County R-3 Buddy Bags

  • Silex Owl’s Pals

  • Winfield Food for All

Donations can be brought to our office at 5 Health Department Drive, Troy MO 63379 Monday- Friday, 8am – 4pm.

Please consider donating the following items:

  • Individual sized protein items

  • Individual fruit cups

  • Breakfast items

  • Jars of peanut butter

  • Instant soup mix

  • Instant mashed potatoes

  • Pop tarts

  • Oatmeal (individual packets)

  • Individual cereal

  • Mac and Cheese cups

  • Ramen noodles

  • Soup

  • Pudding

  • Individual packed snacks

  • Tuna pouches

  • Vienna sausage

  • Spaghetti O’s
