Neighbor Grains DONATION

Product Info

Thank you for donating our versatile All-Purpose Flour to a neighbor in need!

Janie's Mill is matching all donations one-to-one, so the more you donate, the more we match, and the more high-quality nutritious flour goes to our community.

The inaugural recipient for Janie's Mill "Neighbor Grains" donations is Operation Food Search, whose mission is "To provide food today, and help create a hunger-free tomorrow."

Founded in 1981, Operation Food Search provides free food, nutrition education, and innovative programs proven to reduce food insecurity. With a strategic focus aimed at ending childhood hunger, the agency provides food and services to 200,000 individuals every month – one-third of whom are children – through a network of 330 community partners in 25 Missouri and Illinois counties.

Thanks again for your gift of wholesome All-Purpose Flour. Your donation provides a family with a wholesome ingredient for muffins, pancakes, biscuits, banana bread and more!

The Neighbor Grains back story:

Early in 2025, a popular federal program that provided funding for food banks and other organizations to purchase healthy local foods was eliminated. This occurred as other funding for programs focused on alleviating food insecurity were also cut.

So Janie’s Mill decided to help our neighbors in need, and offer you a way to help, too!

Neighbor Grains was inspired by Neighbor Loaves, a program implemented by many of our brick & mortar bakeries during the pandemic to assist those in need.  Our version is similar, only we donate wholesome flours instead of loaves so that recipients can make pancakes, muffins, cookies, or whatever they like!

We tally all Neighbor Grains donations at the end of each quarter and then deliver them to a non-profit focused on providing access to healthy foods. The first recipient is Operation Food Service. 

Janie’s Mill is committed to a 1:1 match of every donation!  For example, if 500 bags of flour are donated by the community, Janie’s Mill will kick in 500 additional bags!  We will also provide quarterly reports on your donations and our match for full transparency.

We thank you for supporting Janie’s Mill Neighbor Grains initiative to provide certified organic, wholesome and nutritious flours and grains to our community.
