Volunteer energy at the Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri always drops after the holidays, just when the need is still sky-high. With over 21 million meals shared last year and a quarter of Boone County living in poverty, every extra set of hands truly matters. Most volunteer shifts are just a couple of hours and don’t require any special skills—just a willingness to pitch in. It’s a great way to meet neighbors, give back, and keep Columbia strong year-round. Who’s been part of a volunteer group before? What was your experience like? #Safety #ColumbiaMO #Volunteer
