MFA Oil Raises $100,000 to Help Fight Hunger Across Missouri
June 3, 2026
The donation was announced during MFA Oil’s twelfth Annual Charity Golf Scramble and Concert held on June 1 at The Club at Old Hawthorne in Columbia. The contribution brings MFA Oil’s support of Feeding Missouri to $400,000 over the past three years and increases the event’s total charitable giving to more than $1.7 million since its inception.
“Hunger affects communities in every corner of Missouri, including many of the rural areas we proudly serve,” says MFA Oil President and CEO Jon Ihler. “We are grateful to the sponsors, golfers, volunteers, and business partners whose generosity made this donation possible. Together, we’re helping ensure more Missouri families have access to the food and resources they need.”
More than 240 golfers participated in the event, which brought together MFA Oil vendors, business partners, and supporters for a day of fellowship, friendly competition, and philanthropy. The fundraiser concluded with dinner and a private concert by country music artist Dustin Lynch.
“We are incredibly grateful for MFA Oil’s continued commitment to Feeding Missouri and our network of food banks,” says Feeding Missouri Executive Director Leigh Anne Haun. “Support from partners like MFA Oil helps provide food and hope to neighbors facing hunger in every county across the state. This $100,000 donation will have a meaningful impact on the lives of thousands of Missourians.”
Feeding Missouri is a coalition of Missouri’s six regional Feeding America food banks. Through a statewide network of more than 1,200 community and faith-based organizations, it delivers hunger relief to every county in Missouri and the city of St. Louis.
MFA Oil extends its sincere appreciation to the sponsors whose support helped make the event possible, including Premier Partners CHS and OMNTEC; Elite Partners Highline Warren, Little Dixie Construction, and HF Sinclair; and Signature Partners Howden Insurance, McLane Company, Mid-Continental Chemical Company, and NAPA Auto Parts.
“Over the past 12 years, this event has become much more than a golf tournament and concert,” Ihler says. “It’s a demonstration of what can happen when people come together to support a cause bigger than themselves. We are proud of the impact this event continues to make in Missouri communities.”
