For 120 years, Empower Missouri has been a champion for families struggling with homelessness, food security, mass incarceration, and access to healthcare. We are the oldest and largest anti-poverty advocacy organization serving our state, and one of the first organizations of its kind in the nation. We are nonprofit and nonpartisan, working to secure basic human needs and equal justice for every person in our state through coalition-building and advocacy. For more than a century, Empower Missouri has driven key policy changes that have improved the lives of countless Missourians. And we are just getting started.

We believe in a future where all people have food, shelter, and justice in Missouri. Our long history has equipped us with a clear understanding of how poverty has been created and sustained by public policy decisions. We believe that substantive policy change is the only long-term solution to alleviating poverty and creating a brighter future for all Missourians. We work to analyze current policy, build an understanding of real-world impact, and elevate the voices of those impacted. We research innovative policy solutions, foster coalitions of individuals committed to improving policy, and work to shift the mindsets of legislators to change laws that perpetuate cycles of poverty.
