Who We Are

At the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, our mission is to lead a network that provides nutritious food and pathways to self-sufficiency for people facing hunger. We believe everyone–of every race, gender, sexuality, age, and income–deserves the opportunity to live their healthiest life. Today, however, there are still far too many barriers to food security which are disproportionately experienced by people of color, historically marginalized groups, and those with lower incomes. We are committed to remain on the front lines, along with our community-based partners, to provide nutritious food and resources for Oklahomans facing hunger.
