Food Pantries

The St. Louis County Library has a great LibGuide for finding resources in the St. Louis area. The O’Fallon Public Library also has a Community Resources page, which links to organizations that can provide relief for food and housing needs. Here’s a list of food pantries in Illinois, here’s the website for the United Way, and here’s the Feeding America search to find a food pantry anywhere in the country, but if you’re anywhere near TBR Books, just keep scrolling down because we’ve done the work of looking into the food pantries in our surrounding area for you.
