Food is where we start.

Community is where we go.

Good food shouldn’t be a long drive or a hard ask.

Strong communities make sure it isn’t.

This USDA map shows how far many Missourians have to go just to buy groceries. The highlighted areas represent communities where food access depends on distance, time, and systems that can fail quickly—underscoring the importance of strengthening access closer to home.

We build spaces that make showing up for others easier.

Why Food Access Matters

In rural Missouri, food access is shaped by distance, time, and systems.

Most days, those systems hold.

Under stress, they don’t.

When access breaks down, people don’t stop needing food.

They depend more on one another.

Our Approach

We focus on what makes food access reliable over time: community.

Founded by Veterans, we build Third Spaces—not home, not work, but places in between where people come together through shared activity.

These spaces make participation visible, voluntary, and normal.

Over time, relationships form.

Support follows.

What That Looks Like in Wright County

One of those Third Spaces is Hellbender Disc Golf Course: Wright County’s first PDGA-aligned, 9-hole pitch-to-putt course.

Like food, disc golf brings people together.

Instead of charging admission, donations-for-play help support local food access.

Joy becomes participation. Participation supports food.

What Comes Next

As participation grows, so does what the community can support.

Next steps include expanding local food access through Blessing Boxes and building toward a community kitchen, cannery, and mercantile—spaces that help keep food local and accessible.

Built over time.

Shaped by use.

Rooted in community.
