Help Feed My People by Claiming Your Business on Patch

Thank you, Patch readers, for nominating a local charity in our community for Patch's "" contest. We're pleased to announce that  was nominated to represent Mehlville and Oakville.

Here's how the contest works. If you run a business, park, church or store in Mehlville or Oakville, hop on Patch now and claim your business listing in our directory.

If we have the most claimed listings between March 7 and April 8, Feed My People will win an advertising campaign on Patch worth up to $3,500, to spread the word about the good works they do in the community.
