Hunger is closer than it looks—and donated groceries move fast. When you bring unopened, shelf-stable items to Simploy, the St. Louis Area Foodbank can stock local pantries immediately, offer families more variety and choice, and keep shelves filled between large shipments. Physical donations also invite the whole community to take part—kids, neighbors, clients—turning full barrels into a visible promise that our city cares.

Drop off during business hours or use our drive-thru. If you can’t make it in person, our virtual option is a helpful backup! Together, we can help STL neighbors set the table with dignity and plenty.

Simploy is located at 13023 Tesson Ferry Road, Suite 105. Our business hours are 8am-5pm.
Drive-thru is Saturday, December 6th from 10am-1pm.
