HomeEnding Hunger Now
1 in every 6 individuals lives in poverty and struggles with hunger in the greater St. Louis region, including more than 173,000 children.
St. Louis Attorneys Against Hunger, an initiative of The Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis with support from the Saint Louis Bar Foundation, unites lawyers and other legal professionals with the St. Louis community to fight against homelessness and hunger in the St. Louis metropolitan area.
Help Us Feed The Community
Many of you are seeking ways to assist those in our community who are in need of food right now. Our St. Louis Attorneys Against Hunger Committee has some opportunities for you to donate food or help fund local efforts to feed area schoolchildren and their families. There are also opportunities to volunteer your time:
- St. Louis Area Food Bank Encourages BAMSL members to volunteer to pack food. You may schedule the time that works best for you at https://stlfoodbank.org/get-involved/volunteer/.
- Step It Up, Inc., is a charity run by BAMSL member Beth Boggs from Boggs, Avellino, Lach & Boggs. The usual mission is to provide free shoes and socks to underprivileged children in St. Louis. Since the COVID-19 crisis, they have pivoted to providing food to families that have lost their food programs due to school closures. She is in need of volunteers every other Friday from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. in Jennings to help deliver the meals to the designated libraries for distribution. To volunteer or for more information, call Beth Boggs at (314) 726-2310.
- The St. Louis Attorneys Against Hunger initiative is also accepting donations. The Attorneys Against Hunger fundraising efforts support St. Louis Area Food Bank, Step It Up, Operation Food Search, Meals on Wheels and St. Patrick Center. Donations can be made here.
Thank you for your continued support to assist those in our community who need it most.
