Cardinals to hold food drive May 3

ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals are teaming up to host the 11th annual Home Run Against Hunger Food Drive. The event occurs before the Cardinals take on the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, May 3. The event will run from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. It will occur in front of the Official Cardinals Team Store at the corner of 8th Street and Clark Avenue. The event is in partnership with Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance and Feeding Missouri.

Fans who bring a non-perishable donation or provide a monetary donation will receive a voucher for two tickets to a 2026 Cardinals game. (Limit one voucher per person.) Donations collected at the event will count toward a statewide total of donations. The final announcement of donations will be at the conclusion of the event.

While most non-perishable donations are appreciated, some types of food items allow local pantries to best meet the needs of the communities they serve. These items include canned tuna and chicken, boxed or bagged pasta and rice, canned soup and chili, boxed crackers, canned fruit and vegetables, peanut butter, bottled jelly, granola/snack bars, fruit snacks, and instant mashed potatoes. Other non-perishable donations such as diapers, baby formula, toilet tissue, and general hygiene products are welcome as well. No glass containers, please.

One in every seven adults and one in every five children in Eastern Missouri and Southwestern Illinois face hunger. The St. Louis Cardinals and Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance recognize the need to obtain and distribute food to hungry neighbors.
