    The impact you'll make:

    At the St.

    Louis Area Foodbank, we are working to build a stronger bi-state region by nourishing people, empowering communities, and transforming systems.

    With the dedicated partnership of nearly 600 hunger-relief programs and local agencies - including soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, and residential programs - we are responding to hunger in communities across

    26 counties in Missouri and Illinois

    by distributing food to more than 400,000 people every year.

    Since opening in 1975

    , and with the tremendous support and generosity of this community, the St. Louis Area Foodbank has grown to become our region's largest food distribution charity dedicated to feeding those in need. Together, we are feeding people and working to address the root causes of hunger for lasting impact every day.

    About the St

    Louis Area Foodbank:

    The St.

    Louis Area Foodbank (SLAFB) is a member of Feeding America, which is a national network of 200 food banks all working together for the common goal of ensuring equitable access to nutritious food.


    This nationwide network offers us a variety of resources, like food, funds, best practices, and gives our work a much bigger, louder voice than we could hope to have on our own.

    The St.

    Louis Area Foodbank supports 26 counties - 14 in Missouri and 12 in Illinois - thus serves, supports and stewards a diverse group of stakeholders across our region, as well as serves as a member of Feeding Missouri (the 6 Feeding America Food Banks in Missouri) and Feeding Illinois (the 7 Feeding America Food Banks in Illinois).


    As a food bank, we collect food from a variety of sources, such as manufacturers, retail stores, farmers, and individual donors.


    We then store, sort, and repackage that food at the highest safety standards and finally distribute that food to our network of agencies and programs, which work directly with people in the community.


    We facilitate the movement of food safely and efficiently and offer the kinds of resources and support to our partner agencies that a single food pantry or shelter could not hope to access on its own.


    VISION
    :

    A nutritionally secure Missouri and Illinois.


    MISSION
    :

    Building a stronger bi-state region by nourishing people, empowering communities, and transforming systems.

    What we can offer you:

    Beyond a great mission, dedicated team members, and an incredible opportunity to truly make a difference in our community, you will be generously rewarded for your contributions including:

    Competitive pay commensurate with experience

    Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) plan

    403b plan with robust company match

    Comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision, group company-paid life insurance, short-term disability, and more)

    We work hard, play hard and change lives - so apply to join our Foodbank Family

    SLAFB Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Statement:

    You are welcome at the St. Louis Area Foodbank (SLAFB) for who you are.

    At the SLAFB, we strive to empower our team to embrace and celebrate who they are by cultivating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment.

    Doing so strengthens our organization, cultivates a culture where everyone feels valued and can bring their best selves to the SLAFB and enables us to nourish people, empower communities, and transform systems.

    At the SLAFB, we champion diversity, equity, and inclusivity to create a respectful and fulfilling workplace representing a broad range of lived experiences and viewpoints .


    We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team that reflects the neighbors and communities we serve in the bi-state region to enhance engagement and connectivity with all key stakeholders.
