Nov. 15, 2023 – Fight hunger in Oklahoma this holiday season with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma’s Holiday Match. Through Jan. 15, all donations will be matched, up to $450,000, thanks to APMEX, the Cresap Family Foundation and other generous donors. KOCO 5 will once again join as the official television partner of the Holiday Match.

“At APMEX, service is in our DNA. We’re truly proud to be in partnership with the Regional Food Bank, working tirelessly to combat hunger in Oklahoma,” said Ken Lewis, chief executive officer of APMEX. “I understand firsthand the struggles of hunger, and that’s why it drives me to help those who are experiencing the same. It’s an honor to be part of a company that’s committed to taking care of our community, and we’re going to keep doing it together.”

Oklahoma consistently ranks as one of the hungriest states in the nation. A donation to the Holiday Match will mean that $1 will help the Regional Food Bank provide eight meals to Oklahomans living with food insecurity. Once the match is met, $1 still helps to provide four meals.

“The Holiday Match is the perfect time to make the most out of your donation and make a big impact in the lives of our food insecure neighbors across central and western Oklahoma,” said Stacy Dykstra, chief executive officer of the Regional Food Bank. “We are so grateful to our partners at APMEX and the Cresap Family Foundation for making this match possible.”

The Holiday Match helps provide meals for Oklahomans like Laurie, who shops at a food pantry located at a senior center in Oklahoma City.

“It’s just wonderful. It really helps me a lot toward the end of the month. I don’t know what I’d do without it,” Laurie said.
