Founded in 1980, the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma began as a community effort to address hunger in Oklahoma City and has since grown to serve 53 counties across central and western Oklahoma. Its mission is to lead a network that provides nutritious food and pathways to self-sufficiency for people facing hunger, with a vision of an Oklahoma where no one goes hungry. The organization distributes food through more than 1,300 community-based partners and schools, providing assistance to children, seniors, and families experiencing food insecurity. In addition to distributing food, the Regional Food Bank provides programs focused on healthy food access, children, seniors, and connecting people with resources that can help them become more economically secure.

Volunteers will sort and pack food for a variety of Regional Food Bank’s programs, such as the Pantry Box, Food For Kids Backpacks, and CSFP (senior boxes).
