Feed My People's mission is to show God's love and compassion to all His people, but particularly to His people in need. We are a Christian nonprofit, one of the region's largest, oldest and most robust food pantries. Our thrift stores offer the general public low-cost quality goods, while generating income to help people who are struggling. With compassion and Christ's love, our army of more than 400 volunteers, dedicated staff and board of directors deliver help to more than 1000 people a week in St. Louis and High Ridge, Missouri.

Michael J. Ackerman, IT Coordinator, passed unexpectedly on Thursday, September 16, 2021. He was a single dad to Sophia, 11, and Phoebe, 22, a student at Truman University. In addition he has three grown daughters who each achieved professional success. Mike was a critical part of Feed My People, moving the organization into the computer age and keeping pace with changes. He allowed our organization to have robust computing power with computers he carefully rebuilt and updated.
Michael was born on 7/12/1959 and passed away on 9/16/2021. He began working in construction when he was a very young man and later became knowledgeable about computers. He will be remembered for his willingness to drop everything even on days off to assist staff and volunteers when they had any computing issue. Executive Director Karen Lanter used to say that Mike “was worth his weight in gold.” His willingness to solve whatever computer issue using his extensive knowledge saved our organization thousands and thousands of dollars. He was Feed My People’s Founders John and Carol Deguire’s son-in-law.
His passion was his children. He was the sole parent to Sophia and Phoebe. Because Mike worked part time, he was not part of Feed My People’s life insurance or any other benefits. He leaves his family unexpectedly and with few resources. John and Carol Deguire are now raising their granddaughter Sophie.
Feed My People is collecting donations for John and Carol Deguire to help them provide for Sophia and Phoebe. If you would like to help, please mail or drop off your check at either Feed My People. ALL CHECKS SHOULD BE PAYABLE TO "THE DEGUIRES".
VISITATION WILL BE AT KUTIS FUNERAL HOME IN AFFTON ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. TIMES TO BE ANNOUNCED.
“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away” – Romans 8:1
