Programs: Infant Crisis Services is the only hunger-relief agency in central Oklahoma dedicated to helping needy babies and toddlers. It is an emergency food pantry that provides these little ones with the life-sustaining nourishment they need to grow and develop properly. We provide a week’s supply of formula, baby food, toddler food, diapers, clothes, sleepers, bottles, blankets and other basic necessities to babies and toddlers in crisis situations. Services are provided a maximum of five times during the child's first 48 months. Services are provided by appointment, Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to noon. To receive services, our caretakers need a referral from another helping agency. Infant Crisis Services is a privately funded, non-profit, 501(c)(3) federally tax exempt organization. Since 1984, Infant Crisis Services has served more than 175,000 babies and toddlers.
