Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma

This afternoon I volunteered at the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. The program Food for Kids provides more than 10,000 chronically hungry children with backpacks of food to feed them over the weekend. Pre-assembled food sacks are given to schools to distribute to these children at no cost. Currently the food bank serves 374 elementary schools in 49 counties across Central and Western Oklahoma.

I met some awesome volunteers and had a lot of fun filling these sacks today. We filled 3648 bags of food for these pre-assmbled sacks today. That means 13,938 meals were created today!

You can help out the Regional Food Bank by

• Volunteering
• Weekdays and Saturday 9am-12 and 1-4pm

• If you are interested in volunteering in a group of 5 or more people, schedule an appointment by e-mailing backpackprogram@regionalfoodbank.org
• Donation
• A donation of $200 can give a child enough food for the weekend for a whole year.

I look forward to my next visit to the food bank!

If a brother or sister lacks food and one of you says, "Go in peace," and yet do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? Faith if it has no works is dead.
James 2:15-17
