Dexter, Missouri - One local business is reaching out to lend a hand to the Stoddard County Gospel Mission.  Allen Christian Buick GMC will host a Stuff-A-Truck event on Wednesday, June 12, 2013.  Items may be dropped off between the hours of 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

With the schools out for summer, many children go without food.  Hundreds of families seek help at the Stoddard County Gospel Mission each month. 

We can help these families and their children by donating non-perishable foods such as can goods, canned vegetables, box drinks, dry goods, crackers, peanut butter, can tuna, and fruit snacks.

The Stoddard County Gospel Mission's store is open Monday - Friday from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. 

The Food Bank is open Monday - Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 4 p.m. and they ask that you call 624-8979 to schedule a time as they have so many families needing food.

"The food collected at Allen Christian will stay local and be donated to our Mission," stated Kim Slavings, Director of the Stoddard County Gospel Mission.

Hunger is a problem right here in our community.  Please help a fellow neighbor and donate to those who are suffering.
