About Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma

Location:

3355 S. Purdue, Oklahoma City, OK 73137, US

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."
