Granite City pairs traditional pantry help — the Salvation Army on E 23rd Street — with something rarer: Twigs for Kids, a Metro East nonprofit focused on feeding children, which runs a mobile market from 2101 Cleveland Blvd. Behind both stands the St. Louis Area Foodbank, whose Madison County mobile distributions and event calendar cover the Illinois side of the metro.
Local Pantries and the Kids-First Mobile Market
The Salvation Army's Granite City corps at 3007 E 23rd St runs a food pantry — call (800) 725-2769 for current distribution days. Twigs for Kids at 2101 Cleveland Blvd — (618) 973-1627 — centers on children's food security in the Metro East, operating a mobile market that brings groceries to families with kids; its programs are worth a call for any household with school-age children, especially over summer break.
St. Louis Area Foodbank Events

Checking the calendar (or calling 314-292-6262) before month's end often turns up a large free distribution within a short drive of Granite City.
