The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri (TFB) is a hunger-relief network distributing food at no cost to neighbors at over 150 partner agencies and 190 schools. The Food Bank is located in Columbia, Missouri and serves a 32-county area that covers more than 18,000-square miles in central and northeast Missouri, reaching the state borders of both Iowa and Illinois (approximately one-third of the state). Our goal is to lead and collaborate to end hunger in the communities we serve.
