The 22nd annual Check Out Hunger fundraiser raised a record-breaking $69,000 in donations, providing more than 276,000 meals across the Ozarks.
Dozens of local grocery stores joined Ozarks Food Harvest for the effort. Customers at the check-out line could add $1, $3, or $5 to their total and that money goes to providing meals for children, families and seniors in the Ozarks.
The fundraiser actually ended in December but the food bank had continued to receive checks from grocers through part of 2021.
