In 1984, Branson area churches and community leaders formed Christian Action Ministries, better known as CAM, to serve as the local outreach food pantry. Since that time, CAM has provided emergency food to people experiencing temporary crisis in Taney County. Between its Branson Pantry, Forsyth Pantry and mobile distribution to eastern Taney County, more than 38,000 people received 4 days’ worth of emergency food last year.
