Did you know that 6,500-plus Pettis County community members are facing food insecurity daily? That’s15.3 percent of the county’s population.

Pettis County Health Center officials say the United Way of Pettis County strives to be able to connect community members with the available resources to assist in meeting their everyday needs.

UWPC, funded partners, and many other Pettis County agencies work hard to ensure that warm, nutritious foods and meals are available to help those facing food insecurity.

If you are in need of resources or are interested in helping the cause, you are urged to contact UWPC via e-mail at Samantha.gilpin@spcuw.org.
