Annie Fisher Pantry

The Annie Fisher Food Pantry, operated by the Columbia Housing Authority and located at 1201 Paquin Street in the Paquin Tower basement, provides nutritious food to families in Columbia experiencing food insecurity. Open every Wednesday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the pantry supplies food from the Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri to meet households’ basic nutritional needs. Named after Annie Knowles Fisher, a celebrated cook, caterer, and entrepreneur who lived in Columbia in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the pantry honors her legacy of service to the community.
