FORDLAND, Mo. — More than 60 adults and high schoolers are packing meals today to help fight food insecurity in the Ozarks. Hunger Stops Here is a collaboration between multiple agriculture organizations in the area. The Webster County Farm Bureau, along with five local FFA chapters and a 4-H group, gathered to pack meals for their yearly project at 10 a.m. The volunteers will work together to pack 10,000 meals that will be donated to local food pantries and food security projects. Emma Alexander, an organizer for Hunger Stops Here, said the effort is an opportunity for students to learn how to meet the needs of a community while working together with adults and other schools.

'By bringing in all these partners we're going to reach from border to border of the county and even a little bit past because of these FFA chapters that are coming in to help us and by pooling our resource of time, we'll be able to bless all of the food pantries in Webster County,' said Alexander. She says the group is packing food that is a complete meal with dry pasta and soy protein, along with a packet of pasta sauce that can feed six people.
