The Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis (St. Louis, MO) hosted what it says was its last large-scale food giveaway Saturday.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization has stepped up to help local families in need. Saturday, it handed more meals for more than 3,500 families at Florissant Valley Community College.

Recipients on Saturday received two-weeks’ worth of meals. Over the past year, the Urban League has given out millions of dollars of food to tens of thousands of local families.
