There are 500,000 Oklahomans at risk of hunger every day, including one
in five of all children in the state. The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma
distributes enough food to feed more than 63,000 hungry Oklahomans each
week through 700 charitable feeding programs and elementary schools in
Oklahoma. The majority of those helped by the Regional Food Bank are
children, senior citizens on fixed incomes, working families who cannot
make ends meet, homeless families and individuals, indigent people
working to recover from mental illness or drug/alcohol addictions and
victims of domestic violence. The Food bank accomplishes all this
through programs like, Food 4 Kids, a program designed especially for
chronically hungry elementary age children who receive backpacks filled
with non-perishable, kid-friendly food to sustain them over weekends and
holidays when school meal programs are not available. The Regional
Delivery System delivers food throughout the Regional Food Bank’s 53
county service area, making 51 urban deliveries
and 52 food deliveries monthly to 32 communities in rural
Oklahoma.
