Causes: Food, Food Banks & Pantries, Food Programs
Mission: Solicitation and receipt of food items from local, regional and national food companies, and distribution of these items to other charitable food programs in central and western oklahoma.
Programs: The regional food bank of oklahoma distributed over 52 million pounds of food to partner agencies in 53 counties in central and western oklahoma. Demand continues to grow as oklahoma has one of the highest underemployment rates in the nation. This higher demand is reflected in not only the normal food distribution, but in our childhood hunger programs such as backpack, school pantries and summer feeding, all of which grew in the past year.
