Literacy Volunteers of America, Laclede Literacy Council is dedicated to remembering September 11th as a Day of Service. In the past many of us helped pack meals in St. Louis at their meal pack, and wanted to bring this experience to both Laclede and Pulaski Counties.
2026 Feed Our Neighbors, 9/11 Meal Pack was a huge success as we packed over 55,000 meals and donated them to local school backpack programs, homeless teenagers, Meals-on-Wheels, and the homeless coalition for Laclede and Pulaski County. Over 400 volunteers helped support the 9/11 Day of Service by hearing stories about how our lives changed that day forever and reading a book that 1st graders wrote the day after.
We are excited about the 2027 Feed Our Neighbors, 9/11 Meal Pack with the expectation of donating more meals during our Day of Service.
