The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma will host U.S. Rep. Frank Lucas for a townhall to discuss the Farm Bill from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 26.

The Farm Bill impacts access to nutritious food for millions of people in America living with hunger. Included in the bill is funding for key federal nutrition programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). The Farm Bill is reauthorized every five years. The Farm Bill is set for reauthorization in 2023.

The townhall will serve as an opportunity for Oklahomans to share perspectives that the Congressman can take into consideration. Throughout the townhall, Congressman Lucas will answer questions related to the bill from attendees. RSVP by noon on Sept. 26 to attend at rfbo.org/townhall.
