Dec. 6, 2021 – From concerts and performances to shopping givebacks, your support this December can help the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma provide more meals to Oklahomans living with hunger.

The winter months can bring hardships for Oklahomans who are already food insecure. On top of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain issues, as the weather gets colder, some Oklahomans are forced to choose between purchasing food or paying their utility bills. The Regional Food Bank has partnered with several local and regional businesses and another nonprofit to raise money for the fight against hunger while celebrating the holidays.

• During the Holiday Match, all donations to the Regional Food Bank are matched, up to $500,000, thanks to APMEX, the Cresap Family Foundation and an anonymous donor. Make a gift at rfbo.org/give or call 405-600-3161.
• Instacart offers a simple way to provide meals to Oklahomans living with hunger. At checkout, select to support the Regional Food Bank to send one meal to Oklahomans living with hunger. Make an order at instacart.com.
