The mission of Loaves & Fishes Food Bank of the Ozarks, Inc. is to relieve hunger as directed by our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 25. Loaves & Fishes provides Carroll County families access to the federal The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) as well as salvage and donated foods. Households may come once per month to receive an allotment if the total household income falls below the current guidelines for the number of persons sharing the same legal address and utility services account. This is done with all volunteer labor, donated foods, foods purchased through Feeding America by local persons for Carroll County people.
