Event Details

Help the SLAA Community Awareness Committee make a positive impact in the Greater St. Louis Area.

SLAA members and their residents have made a huge impact over the years by collecting non-perishable food items for the St. Louis Area Foodbank to distribute to over 500 pantries and shelters in St. Louis County & St. Louis City, St. Charles, Jefferson County, and Illinois counties, just to name a few!

Thank you for your support!

The St. Louis Area Foodbank will drop off bins prior to June 1st (or at least close to that date).
After June 30th, the St. Louis Area Foodbank will pick up the bins from your location. It may take a couple of weeks to get them all collected.
The St. Louis Area Foodbank's assigned driver will call your property when they are on their way to deliver the bins. The time frame of delivery will depend on how many other stops the driver has on their route that day. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding.
If your leasing office is locked or closed to regular traffic, the bin can be left outside the door. When you register, please indicate if you prefer to leave your bin outside.
If you need additional pick-ups during the food drive, you may email Jordan Casey, Product Sourcing Project Manager, 314.292.5391, jcasey@stlfoodbank.org
Please allow 24 – 48 hours for a return call and/or your items to be pick-up.

Thank you for your support of the St. Louis Area Foodbank.
