Dec. 19, 2025 – 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 $350,000, thanks to presenting sponsor APMEX and with support from the Cresap Family Foundation.

“For us, the holidays have always meant gathering around a table filled with good food and laughter. Sadly, many of our neighbors across Oklahoma are facing empty tables this season. You can help change that,” said John Cresap, president at the Cresap Family Foundation. “Join us in supporting the Regional Food Bank and help fill the plates of fellow Oklahomans.”

The Regional Food Bank can provide three meals for every $1 donated. During the match, every dollar will help provide six meals to Oklahomans living with hunger.

“The holiday season is typically a season of celebration and joy, but the holidays can also lead to stress, especially for Oklahomans living with hunger,” said Stacy Dykstra, chief executive officer at the Regional Food Bank. “The holiday match is a perfect time to make a tax-deductible donation to help provide much needed meals and nutrition to our neighbors.”

These donations can act as a lifeline to Oklahomans like Kristopher, who receives food assistance from our partner, Loaves & Fishes Food & Resource Center in Enid.

Kristopher is on a disability after being hit by a semi-truck several years ago, and his wife has also been on disability for the last 10-15 years. Despite these hurdles, Kristopher has his eyes set on the future and is now working towards a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He is so grateful for the variety of food he’s been able to get for his family through pantries like Loaves & Fishes, especially for their 18-year-old son.

“Thanks to you, big thanks! Because this is saving us! It’s the difference between being really, really hungry and actually having something to make.”
