Community food distribution in Saint Joseph, Missouri

Located at 702 Messanie Street in Saint Joseph, Missouri, The Good Samaritan Store is a vital part of The Crossing Outreach Urban Mission Campus. This institution is dedicated to transforming lives in St. Joseph for the most vulnerable members of the community. The programs offered at The Good Samaritan Store focus on providing housing and support for men reentering the community from incarceration, distributing fresh food rescued from local grocery stores and the Second Harvest Food Bank, and operating a Thrift Store to provide clothing items to the homeless. The revenue generated from the Thrift Store also supports the Nutrition Center, which is crucial for those in need.

The Crossing Nutrition Center is a vital resource located at 615 South 8th Street in Saint Joseph, Missouri. As a food rescue program, the center receives donations of food that would otherwise go to waste from various grocery stores in the area. This initiative helps combat food insecurity in the largest food desert in St. Joseph, where access to fresh and healthy food is limited. Operating on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 am to 12 noon (or until food runs out), The Crossing Nutrition Center provides essential groceries to those in need. With the closest grocery store being 4 miles away, the center plays a crucial role in ensuring that individuals and families have access to nutritious food items.
