Be the Difference This Hunger Action Month

September is Hunger Action Month, and Cassville Pantry is asking Barry County to step in and step up in the fight against hunger. Each month, the Pantry is a lifeline for roughly 1,500 people — about 550 families, including children, working parents, and seniors who turn to us when their grocery budget falls short.

Your gift goes further here. By buying in bulk and at wholesale prices, we stretch every dollar: a $50 donation provides a family with about five days of meals, and each food box we distribute carries an average retail value of $80 to $90. Right now, a $3,000 matching gift is on the table — once the community raises the first $3,000, those funds are unlocked, pushing us toward our $15,000 September goal.

This September, don't just think about hunger. Take action, and help make Barry County a place where no neighbor has to wonder where their next meal will come from.

About

Our food pantry serves the Cassville community through a variety of programs serving over 1,500 people each month. We are an agency operating multiple programs to reduce barriers to food assistance and fight against food insecurity.

The entire community rallies around the pantry helping us execute our programs during these times when inflation is challenging many household budgets and making it difficult to afford to put food on the table. We have served our Barry County neighbors in need of food assistance for the past 20 years. We nourish our neighbors facing hunger with healthy food, hope, and community. 

Check out this article in the Barry County Advertiser about how we strive to provide healthy food resources for the food insecure families in our area.
