Food on the Move is a direct service program for individuals living in areas of Illinois and Missouri with limited access to healthy food and resources. Our Food on the Move trailer is outfitted as a mobile pantry, allowing the St. Louis Area Foodbank to take nutritious food directly into neighborhoods. This mobile, choice-based food pantry is designed to increase access to food and decrease food waste by encouraging neighbors to take the foods they like and need.
Benefits of Food on the Move for the Community

- Available to everyone. Neighbors do not need to provide identification or proof of income.
