MCCA's Board of Directors approved a relationship with FoodSource Plus as this has the potential to benefit all member agencies, regardless of size. FoodSource Plus has arrangements with a wide range of food wholesalers and distribution companies in Missouri, and has recently added additional vendors to their network to serve our members across the state. Their expertise is in negotiating the lowest possible costs for groceries and cleaning supplies offered by these vendors. They report savings of 10 – 35% for child and family service agencies.
