June 2, 2025 – Free meals and snacks are available for Oklahoma children all summer through the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma’s Summer Feeding Program. Visit rfbo.org/summermeals to discover sites throughout the organization’s 53-county service area. A gift from Love’s Travel Stops is helping the Regional Food Bank increase access to more children in central and western Oklahoma.

“When school releases for summer, thousands of children lose access to the nutritious meals they count on. The Regional Food Bank’s Summer Feeding Program helps ensure no child has to worry where their next meal will come from,” said Stacy Dykstra, chief executive officer of the Regional Food Bank. “Good nutrition is essential not just for healthy bodies, but for bright futures.”

The Summer Feeding Program officially kicks off on Monday, June 2 and runs through Friday, Aug. 8. Nearly 120 sites will distribute free meals and snacks to children aged 18 and under. The Summer Feeding Program is a federal nutrition program managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and distributed through the Oklahoma State Department of Education.

Love’s is partnering with the Regional Food Bank’s Summer Feeding Program for the second straight year to help provide even more meals to Oklahoma children.

“After the success of last year’s Summer Feeding Program, it was an easy decision for Love’s to participate again in order to support some of Oklahoma’s most vulnerable residents – children who rely on free and reduced lunches during the school year,” said Jenny Love Meyer, chief culture officer of Love’s. “Last summer, we were able to support the Regional Food Bank and this program by funding nearly 500,000 meals. We believe ensuring children have access to food is one of the most meaningful ways we can invest in their future and are excited to be able to help again this year.”

Summer meals are also provided with support from the USDA. Meals will be provided equally and without charge to all children aged 18 and younger, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability. There will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service. USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
