MFPA Benefits Ill Kids In Need And Promotes Lumber Industry Since 1970
The Missouri Forest Products Association (MFPA) recently welcomed members and guests to the Margaritaville Lake Resort in Osage Beach, MO, for its 2026 Annual Summer Meeting.
The two-day meeting included multiple committee meetings as well as Log A Load for Kids Golf Scramble.
Included among the opening day committee meetings were the following: educational and technical services, forest health, MFPA political action and governmental and public affairs.
The MFPA board of directors also met, followed by an evening of booth displays by associate members and a welcome reception.
The second day included a Missouri Logging Council business meeting and a general education session. The afternoon included the Log A Load Golf Scramble for those who wished to participate, followed by an evening reception and dinner to close the event.
Auctions that were held during the event benefited MFPA Political Action Committee and Log A Load for Kids. According to the MFPA website, MFP PAC was established to compliment the association’s legislative programs. The purpose is to financially support candidates and causes that are beneficial to industry interests. The auction held at the summer meeting is a big fund raiser for the committee. Log A Load for Kids is MFPA’s charity where loggers and wood products businesses donate the value of a load of logs, or any amount, to a nearby Children’s Miracle Network affiliated hospital to be used in treating ill and injured children. MFPA holds fundraising events to supplement donations to the hospitals.
Items auctioned off at the summer meeting benefit Log A Load for Kids.

Founded in 1970, MFPA has over 300 members representing primary and secondary wood industry, supplier and service industries, loggers and landowners.
