Float Your Boat is April 27, 2024!
Float Your Boat is an innovative and exciting way to support The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri while having a blast with family and friends. Held every spring, Float Your Boat is mid-Missouri’s original cardboard boat regatta. Teams race one-of-a-kind cardboard boats across Bass Pro Shops Lake in Columbia while hundreds of attendees cheer them on as they sail - or sink.
Proceeds from Float Your Boat help The Food Bank feed neighbors in our 32-county service area. Because of The Food Bank's relationships and bulk purchasing power, a $25 donation can help provide at least 100 meals to those in need.
