As summer comes to an end, thousands of children across Oklahoma head back to school. This season typically brings reunions with friends, plenty of laughter and, yes, homework. However, many parents struggle to afford basic necessities for their children. While attention is focused on buying notebooks, pencils and uniforms, children have limited access to quality food — the most important school supply of all.

You can help! A non-cash or planned charitable gift can be made to the Regional Food Bank through cryptocurrency, your IRA, stocks or mutual funds, donor-advised funds, a life insurance policy, real estate or inclusion in your living will or trust. It’s an easy way to impact your community without dipping into your annual income — and it comes with significant tax benefits.
