What is #GivingTuesday?

We have a day for giving thanks. We have two shopping days for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, December 1, 2015, Operation Food Search will make this global day LOCAL. Help provide nutritious food to kids in need over the weekend by supporting Operation Backpack on Giving Tuesday.

Hunger Doesn’t Take a Weekend Break

The Operation Backpack program decreases the burden of childhood hunger throughout the metro St. Louis area by providing a weekend food assistance program.  Since nutrition affects cognitive, social and emotional development, children who do not get proper foods are more likely to have problems learning, growing and interacting. Operation Backpack ensures that children who rely on free or subsidized lunches continue to receive proper nutrition vital to their growth and development.

Give the Gift of Connecting Children with nutritious meals over the weekend!

Operation Food Search Young Friends Board invites professionals of St. Louis to pack food, listen to music, enjoy food/drinks, learn about Operation Food Search, and network with other professionals of our community!

Join the Operation Food Search Young Friends Board and other young professionals for a Rap N Pack at Operation Food Search. Come mix and mingle, pack food into boxes for our partner agencies, enjoy beer and wine and learn more about Operation Food Search.
