Hunger in Missouri and Kansas | Kansas City News

One in six people in Missouri and Kansas are facing hunger—nearly 1.5 million souls struggling to find their next meal. This September, during Hunger Action Month, local heroes like Kanbe’s Markets, the Kansas Food Bank, and Harvesters are stepping up with creative solutions: turning wasted food into meals, packing thousands of kits at the State Fair, and hosting food festivals where you can get free admission for bringing cans. Organizations including Pete’s Garden, Meals on Wheels, Jewish Family Services, and Just Food are also rallying for donations and volunteers. It’s a call to action—for everyone who calls this city home—to show up, share resources, and fight hunger together.
