The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma's Leadership Council connects young professionals interested in getting involved in their community and state through engagement with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. These dedicated individuals, ages 24 to 35, volunteer their time and creativity to raise awareness about the issue of hunger and increase the visibility of the Regional Food Bank and its mission of "Fighting Hunger…Feeding Hope" in Oklahoma.
For more information about the Leadership Council, contact Kendra Loper, kloper@regionalfoodbank.org or 405-600-3172
Applications for the 2018-2019 class will be posted in the spring.
“I feel that I am being trained and educated to be able to make a difference. I think being involved with Leadership Council has made me more loyal to the organization and allowed me to effectively spread awareness about the organization within my network of friends and colleagues. I am able to be a source of knowledge and a point-person to direct others on what the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma does and how they can help."
