Formed in February 2010, the Operation Food Search Friends Board is a vibrant network of young professionals who share a passion for making a difference in the St. Louis community. Members bring a wide range of skills, experiences, and perspectives to support OFS’ mission to heal hunger with innovative and collaborative solutions that provide food today and help create a hunger-free tomorrow.
Through volunteer service, fundraising initiatives, and community outreach, the Friends Board helps expand awareness of food insecurity. Their efforts directly support Operation Backpack, which provides at-risk children with weekend meals to help bridge the gap when school is not in session.
