Community Carry Out St. Louis

It is time to say a great big THANK YOU to everyone who has supported Community Carry Out. We are awarding our last grant this week and are closing our fund with the St. Louis Community Foundation.

We are proud to have raised $370,000 and to have funded 61 local businesses. 18,500 meals were delivered to the food insecure in St. Louis.

Congratulations to La Colombianita for acquiring their new food truck AND receiving one of our grants to support their business and help feed the food insecure in STL! Jonathan Wilson Armando Florentino

We are excited to announce that Sameem Afghan Restaurant has been awarded a grant in order to prepare and deliver 500 meals to Oasis International Ministries for the refugees from Afghanistan arrived and arriving in the St. Louis region.

A taste of home for those who are far from!

4 MORE - We are very grateful to our most recent anonymous corporate donor whose gift will enable us to fund another 4 grant recipients. St. Louis Metro area restaurants interested in our program should reach out to St. Louis Community Foundation to request an application.

50% of our Covid Emergency Relief Grants are intended for day to day operational expenses of our grant recipients; the other 50% is used to prep and deliver meals to the food insecure through one of our non-profit partners.

We are winding our program down as restaurants/caterers have started to re-open and get back to their regular business. Glad to go out with a bang and have this opportunity to fund a few more businesses...and help feed a few more of our neighbors in need. Thanks to all who have supported this effort.

We are so happy to announce grants have been awarded to Chao Baan Restaurant and Magnolia C'est Bon. These local businesses will prepare and deliver 250 meals each to St. Louis non-profits that are helping nourish food insecure clients n our community.

Chao Baan Restaurant = amazing for Project Outreach, helping under-served and underrepresented men and women develop skills in becoming self-sufficient, productive contributors to our community.

Magnolia C'est Bon = delicious for Carondelet Community Betterment Federation's food pantry and social services programming. Fred Hessel
