Mobile Market to cease food distribution at Burbes
The Mobile Market program — one of the food distribution sites run by the St. Louis Food Bank and open to the public — will end after the April 9, 2025, distribution.
The Mobile Market has served families in our community since 2017, providing access to fresh, nutritious food. Unfortunately, the food will no longer be distributed from Francis Howell School District’s Burbes building location due to space, traffic and staffing challenges.
Future deliveries will be redistributed to other area food banks and distribution centers. Additional supports and community resources available in our area are listed on the District's Community Resources page.
