G&R Farms launched their first annual Season of Giving campaign partnering with Costco and Schnucks in an effort to give back during this past holiday season. The campaign began in mid-November and ran through the end of December, 2020 and was a success raising a combined total of $22,600. Each retailer chose their own local charity and the funds raised were based on set donation amount per each box shipped during the promotion.
We are grateful for the generous support provided by G&R Farms through their Season of Giving campaign,” said Operation Food Search Executive Director Kristen Wild. “The impact of this donation will be felt by many struggling with food insecurity during this challenging time. It is wonderful to see companies that care about strengthening their communities.”

Operation Food Search (OFS), a non-profit hunger relief organization, recently received $21,473 from the Boy Scouts and its annual Scouting for Food drive. This year s event was modified due to the current pandemic, and monetary donations were handled through its text to give campaign. Lion s Choice, which served as a drop-off site for non-perishable food items at its 24 restaurants, collected 21,305 food items for the nonprofit. This year was an important year to see our Scouting for Food drive be a success, even if we had to alter the design of the drive, said Suzie Voss, Director of Cub Scout Camping & Activities at the Boy Scouts of America s Greater St. Louis Area Council. We are so excited to have partnered with Operation Food Search and look forward to increasing our impact in 2021.
