A Place at the Table
This Thanksgiving, many of our neighbors are working hard but still struggling to keep enough food on the table. Rising costs are forcing families to make difficult choices just to get by. A Place at the Table is our invitation to come together as a community and make sure our neighbors have the food they need this holiday season.
Your gift helps fill tables across eastern Oklahoma with nourishing food and reminds our neighbors that when times are difficult, their community will show up.
Your tax-deductible donation will be matched by Julia Meier and Thomas Ladner, Liz and Bob Austin, Patricia and Bob Parks, Arnold and Pat Brown Family Foundation, R. Scott and Dana Leeds Charitable Endowment, Nancy and Bob Burris, and the Jim and Mary Barnes Family Foundation.

Help feed families in your community.

Let’s reduce the food-insecurity rate in Oklahoma
Oklahoma is the nation’s second-most food-insecure state. When you support the Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, you are supporting more than 700 pantries and feeding partners throughout eastern Oklahoma.
Help your neighbors who live paycheck-to-paycheck.
Up to 44% of Oklahoma families lack adequate savings to cover basic expenses if they lose stable income. Hunger affects your neighbors, coworkers, classmates, and even family members. 59% of food-insecure Oklahomans do not qualify for SNAP and other resources.
Recognize the face of hunger.
One in Five Oklahomans is food insecure, leaving families struggling between paying bills and putting food on the table. Recognizing the face of hunger is the first step toward solving an issue that touches all our lives.
