LOT is the only full-service food pantry serving Christian County, one of the fastest growing counties in the state of Missouri. With 11% of Christian County residents now living in poverty, the increase in those struggling to make ends meet has far outpaced the population growth. LOT currently provides food assistance, food-related resources, and special evening hours for working clients, as well as a mobile food pantry to Eastern Christian County. During distributions, LOT collaborates with community partners to extend indirect services to families we serve. Together with these partners, we assist clients in navigating the resources they need to move from dependency to self-sustainability.
