The partnership between CCCNMO and The Food Bank of Central and Northern Missouri has been a joy for each of our agencies. This year, all food donated at the One for One Holiday Food & Fund Drive will be going to our new client choice pantry, which is very exciting! We hope you will consider volunteering and sharing this opportunity with friends and family in the Jefferson City area.
