Volunteers like you are essential to providing food for Oklahomans living with hunger.
Through this on-site volunteer experience, volunteers like you sort, pack and prepare food for a variety of Regional Food Bank Programs. Activities may include:
- Assembling sacks of nutritious food for the Food for Kids Backpack Program
- Packing Commodity Supplemental Food Program boxes full of food for seniors living on fixed incomes
- Sorting and packing bread, produce, package meals and/or cans
- Tagging bags
- Cleaning
Because the Regional Food Bank’s inventory changes daily, the Regional Food Bank cannot guarantee volunteers who sign up to work in the Volunteer Center will pack and prepare food for a specific program.
Volunteers must be at least 8 years old. Volunteers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Mission Statement
Our mission is "Fighting Hunger...Feeding Hope."
Description
The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, a member of the Feeding America network of Food Banks, is the largest private domestic hunger-relief charity in the state - providing enough food to feed more than 126,000 hungry Oklahomans every week, 37 percent of which are children. One in four children and one in six adults struggle with hunger, never certain where their next meal will come from or if there will even be a next meal.
In fiscal year 2016, the Regional Food Bank distributed 52 million pounds of food through a network of 1,300 charitable feeding programs and schools throughout 53 central and western Oklahoma counties.
Our administrative and fundraising costs are only 4 percent, which means 96 cents out of every dollar donated goes to feed the hungry in our state.
Your help is needed.
656,000 Oklahomans will wake up today and wonder where their next meal will come from. Oklahoma ranks among the hungriest states in the nation, but thanks to donors, volunteers and advocates, the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma is "Fighting Hunger...Feeding Hope."
