WHY SIMPLOY IS ACCEPTING DONATIONS
Hunger is closer than it looks. While we’re collecting non-perishable foods at Simploy HQ, monetary gifts let the St. Louis Area Foodbank do even more—fast. Your donation helps them purchase the most-needed items in bulk, fill critical gaps like fresh produce and proteins, and fuel the trucks that move food where it’s needed most across our region. Dollars stretch further at the Foodbank than a typical grocery trip, so your gift amplifies every can and box we collect one.
If you’re not able to drop off items—or want to multiply the impact—please give what you can today. Together, we can help our STL neighbors set the table with dignity and plenty.

HOW TO FIND US:
WEEKDAY DROP-OFF
Drop items at Simploy HQ anytime during business hours, December 4–15. Collection barrels are in the main lobby and front vestibule for easy, quick drop-offs—no check-in required. Please donate unopened, shelf-stable goods (see list below) and avoid damaged/leaking packages. If you’re bringing a large quantity, we’re happy to help with a cart—email mackenzie@simploy.com to coordinate.
DRIVE-THRU DROP-OFF
Roll up, pop the trunk, and you’re done. Volunteers will guide you through the Simploy HQ loop, unload donations curbside, and hand you a quick thank-you card with a QR to our virtual fundraiser—no need to park. Please bring unopened, shelf-stable items and check expiration dates. Our address is 13023 Tesson Ferry Road, Suite 105, Saint Louis, MO 63128. Look for “Feed the Lou” signs at the main entrance. We are located behind the Imo’s!

DONATE VIRTUALLY
Can’t make it in person or want to amplify your impact? Give through our Virtual Food Drive. Your dollars help the St. Louis Area Foodbank purchase the most-needed items in bulk, fill gaps like fresh produce and proteins, and move food quickly where it’s needed most—often stretching further than a retail purchase. It’s fast, tax-deductible, and a powerful way to support Feed the Lou by Simploy.
