Dexter, Missouri - Local businesses working together to help those in need. The Corner Cottage of Dexter is collecting non-perishable food items for the Stoddard County Gospel Mission.

The First Christian Church of Dexter is working with the Mission to put together food boxes containing nonperishable breakfast and lunch items to be distributed to families during July when school is not in session.

During the summer months students are out of school and do not receive the normal breakfast and lunch five days per week like they did during the school season.  The Mission services approximately 400 children each month and is in need of food.  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.

If you would like to donate money or food items, you may drop it off at the Stoddard County Gospel Mission or The Corner Cottage of Dexter. 

The Corner Cottage is located at 1424 West Business 60 in Dexter and will be collecting through Saturday.
