Operation Food Search was founded in 1981 and offers free food, nutrition education and programming aimed at reducing hunger in St. Louis By Wendy Todd According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in 2020 the percent of households in the country experiencing food insecurity was at 10.5%. Missouri topped that at 13.8%. And children make up the majority of individuals who don’t have enough food. The nonprofit, Operation Food Search, aims to ameliorate these stats and help everyone have enough to eat.
Operation Food Search was founded in 1981 and offers free food, nutrition education and programming aimed at reducing food insecurity. Though it is a resource for all, the organization’s efforts focus on “ending childhood hunger.” Through over 300 community partners in Missouri and Illinois counties the organization provides food and services to 200,000 people every month. One third of those served are children. Last year the agency distributed over $33 million
worth of food. Though Missouri’s rate of food insecurity has been above the national average, the conditions of the pandemic helped decrease it. “Food insecurity rates in our region have improved over the past year,” Carlton Adams, Chief Operating Officer of OFS says, “but only because of the surge in support from the government, corporate entities, See ‘FIGHTING’ page 2

Moore on Life
Senior Living
By Cindy Moore
I
’m not much of a sports fan whereas my husband is, but then he’s not much for word games and I am. I can’t get him to play games such as Scrabble or Bananagrams because they require a diverse vocabulary and if he can’t find touchdown or playoff in the letter choices then game over. But I like to watch his sports competitions because I’m always finding new words. The announcer says, “Touchback!” “Oh, oh…I know that word,” I proudly say. “That happened when we took the kids on vacation in the car. Remember, one elbowed the other and then they both started crying so I started yelling to find out who touched who first. Of course, the one who was touched first had to “touch back” second to get even and…” My husband has put the game on pause and is staring at me blankly like I’ve misplaced my marbles. “I am going to turn this game back on and by the time I do, I hope there is complete silence so I can enjoy my man time,” he grumbles. This month he has turned into a March Madness madman. At the same time, I have become hooked on a new game called Wordle. I am officially a Wordle nerdle. I need a five-letter word to start out the game. Preferably, I like it to have two vowels and three consonants. I’m sure my husband will like this one. I wander down into his noisy sports lair. “Hey Sweetie, help me come up with a good five letter word.” “Foul!” he shouts. “Nope, too short.” “Assist, assist!” “Sorry, that has a double S.” Not much of a speller, but I knew I’d get him interested, I think to myself. “Come on. Defense!” “Too long and way too many E’s.” “Hey, couldn’t you see that man was open?! You #&%@!” “Hey! I said five, not four-letter words. But you’re getting close. Isn’t this fun?” “Here it comes. Oh ya!” “I knew you’d come up with one,” I say with my pencil ready. “It’s coming…!” “Tell me! What have you got?!” “SCORE!!”
Game on! Two vowels, three consonants! We both stand and cheer. It’s so nice to share in the same interests! Cindy Moore is the mother of three superlative kids, servant of two self-indulgent felines and wife to one nifty husband. Her ficticious occupation?

Daniel Descalso named as final alumni for the home run derby event at the Hoots The O’Fallon Hoots, members of the Prospect League, announced that 2011 World Series Champion Daniel Descalso will take part in the 2nd Annual MLB Alumni Home Run Derby at CarShield Field on June 4. Descalso is the final MLB Alum to be announced, joining Ray Lankford, Brian Jordan and Rafael Furcal. “We are excited to have Daniel as a part of this event,” General Manager David Schmoll said. “Daniel is a beloved Cardinal who played the game hard every night. Any chance you get to bring a World Series Champion to the ballpark, it’s special. We can’t wait to have him in O’Fallon!” Descalso was a third-round selection (112th overall) by the Cardinals in the 2007 MLB amateur entry draft. The Redwood City, California-native made his MLB debut on Sept. 18, 2010 and started his first game on September 22. He made the MLB team out of spring training in 2011 and spent the next four seasons with the Cardinals before making stops in Colorado, Arizona and with the Cubs. He made his final MLB appearance in 2019. Throughout his 10-year career, Descalso posted 48 home runs, including a career high of 13 in 2018. For the second year, joining the four MLB Alumni for the event are members of The Rizzuto Show and 105.7 The Point taking on members of The Fast Lane and 101 ESPN. The second Annual MLB Alumni Home Run Derby will take place June 4 at CarShield Field in O’Fallon with the event beginning at 7 p.m. Fans will have the opportunity to purchase limited specialty autograph passes to go on the field to meet and get autographs from Furcal, Jordan, Lankford and Descalso.
