Food Distribution Program

The Food Distribution Program in Carthage, MO, is dedicated to providing essential food assistance to low-income households, especially those with members of federally recognized tribes. Our mission is to ensure that families have access to nutritious food, helping to alleviate hunger within our community. We serve a wide area, including parts of Ottawa, Delaware, Cherokee, and Labette counties, as well as Newton, Barton, Jasper, and McDonald counties in Missouri. With a compassionate approach, we strive to support our neighbors by distributing commodity foods to those in need. To participate in this vital service, households must meet specific eligibility criteria, including residing in an approved area and having a tribal member. Together, we work to nourish our community and provide a lifeline for those facing food insecurity.
