Mission Statement
The Newton County Food Basket Brigade's mission is to ensure that no family in Newton County, MO goes hungry at Christmas time. We strive to provide enough food for a traditional meal plus approximately two weeks' worth of food after that.
About This Cause
Since its beginning in 1988, more than 5 million pounds of food have been distributed to Newton County, MO residents at Christmas time. 2021 was the 34th year for the food distribution and over 120,000 pounds of food was distributed to nearly 1000 families. The goal is to provide for enough food for a traditional Christmas dinner plus basic staples to last up to two weeks for Newton County residents certified as low income, disadvantaged, disabled, and/or elderly in need of assistance. This assistance is minimal and provides nothing extra for the holidays. An application must be made to receive this assistance. All applicants must be able to provide proof of residence in Newton County, MO, proof of a social security card and must be able to document the number of people living in their home. The distribution is approximately one week before Christmas and food is delivered to those that are home-bound.
