Kids Cafe volunteers will work with children as mentors and tutors/homework helpers. Volunteers will also help with serving food and snacks, as well as helping to facilitate nutrition education, and physical and recreational activities. Available shifts take place during after-school hours, Monday-Friday; volunteers are asked to commit to at least one shift per week, 2 hours per shift, for a minimum of 3 months. A background check is required.
We have many different Kids Cafe sites around the state that are in need of help with tutoring children, helping kids with physical and educational activities, and serving food.
Kids Cafe programs offer free healthy meals and snacks to low income children at a variety of community locations where children already congregate during after-school hours - such as Boys and Girls Clubs, churches, and community centers. Kids Cafe sites provide a safe place where, under the supervision of trustworthy staff, a child can get involved in educational, recreational, and social activities. Additionally, all Kids Cafe sites offer nutrition education throughout the year.

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."
