“As one of the hungriest states in the nation, no action is too big or too small. Just take action. Whether that is by wearing orange for hunger awareness, starting a food or fund drive or joining us for a volunteer shift.”
Stacy Dykstra, chief executive officer of the Regional Food Bank
Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma
Every action counts, whether donating, advocating, volunteering or simply just spreading the word. For the entire month of September every donation to the Regional Food Bank’s Food for Kids Programs is matched dollar-for-dollar, says Regional Food Bank leadership.
