ABOUT US
"Get up and God
will get up with you."
George "Giddo" Simon
Giddo Simon Ministries (GSM) was founded to continue the good work of George Simon Sr., a man of great faith and generosity, who saw a need to give fresh produce to food pantries, the poor and homeless through his work as a produce stand owner at Soulard Market in St. Louis, MO.
In continuing his generosity to provide fresh produce, Giddo Simon Ministries officially became a non-profit organization in August 2017 and is a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization.
GSM has two programs - Fresh Produce Program and Caring for Cabrini. Through the Fresh Produce Program, we provide fresh produce to the St. Trinity Lutheran/St. Stephen/CCBF Food Pantry, St. Anthony of Padua Food Pantry and Outreach Ministries, Holy Name of Jesus Food Pantry and St. Augustine Wellston Center. The Caring for Cabrini program provides fresh fruits and vegetables for children's lunches at St. Frances Cabrini Academy. Donor Designated Funds are used to organize a free Christmas party for the families at the academy.
As we grow, our goal is to expand our mission of providing fresh produce to food pantries throughout the area through donations, fundraisers and grants.
