To Provide nutritional support to persons with HIV/AIDS in order to enhance their quality of life.

Food Outreach started in October 1988 with seven clients and has grown to serve more than 780 individuals in 1998. In fulfilling its mission, Food Outreach provides food and nutritional support to persons with HIV infection who are indigent, who find preparing meals difficult or impossible, or who are in the workplace and can extend their employment by removing extraneous demands on their energy. Food Outreach and its 400+ volunteers who cook food, pack orders and provide home delivery, is the only St. Louis-area organization focused solely on providing nutritional support to persons living with HIV/AIDS.
