Dec. 14, 2023 – Oklahoma consistently ranks as one of the hungriest states in the nation. This holiday season, donations to fight hunger in Oklahoma are doubled in impact thanks to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma’s Holiday Match. Through Jan. 15, all donations will be matched, up to $450,000, thanks to APMEX, the Cresap Family Foundation and other generous donors.

“As we approach the festive season, our community faces unprecedented challenges, and the need for support has never been more critical,” said John Cresap, president of the Cresap Family Foundation. “Supporting the Regional Food Bank allows us to join together as a community and make a meaningful impact on the lives of our fellow Oklahomans. Together, we can bring warmth, nourishment and hope to our neighbors who need it most.”

Typically, the Regional Food Bank is able to provide four meals for every $1 donated. During the match, every dollar will help provide eight meals to Oklahomans living with hunger.

“As we near the end of the year, we urge everyone to use this time to make a tax-deductible donation to help provide much needed meals and nutrition to Oklahoma families,” said Stacy Dykstra, chief executive officer of the Regional Food Bank.
