Cottleville Firefighters Outreach Food Drive

November 11 – December 2, 2025

For more than a decade, Cottleville Firefighters Outreach has proudly partnered with the St. Joachim & Ann Food Pantry to help local families put food on the table during the holidays. This year, we’re once again asking our community to join us in fighting hunger right here at home.

The St. Joachim & Ann Care Service operates food pantries that provide nutritious meals and essential items to families across St. Charles, Lincoln, and Warren Counties — including many right here in the Cottleville Fire District. Their St. Peters location (4116 McClay Rd.) serves as a vital resource for neighbors in need, and we’re honored to help keep their shelves stocked through your generosity.
