Our Mission
Founded in 1981, Operation Food Search (OFS) is a hunger relief organization that provides free food, nutrition education and innovative programs proven to reduce food insecurity. With a strategic focus aimed at ending childhood hunger, OFS empowers families and increases access to healthy and affordable food. The agency provides food and services to nearly 200,000 individuals on a monthly basis – one-third of whom are children – through a network of 330 community partners in 30 Missouri and Illinois counties.
As part of its mission to heal hunger and strengthen our future, OFS addresses the root causes of food insecurity through programs that increase understanding of underlying issues and promote solutions that improve individuals and communities.
