CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - On Tuesday morning, May 11 in Sikeston, crews with the SEMO food bank loaded up trucks for another food distribution.
“Whenever you look at feeding a large population of people, it takes a village,” said Lisa church, chief advancement officer at SEMO Food Bank.
This village is trying to find a solution to food insecurity and that means looking at why people don’t have access to food.
Lately, as the vaccinations become more available for the public and the economy has rebounded, the need for food assistance has declined some in the area.
