The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma served 1,600 families Dec. 19 during food distributions in six Oklahoma communities. Families took home nearly 100 pounds of food at each event. This time of year can bring added stress to the lives of our neighbors living with food insecurity and add to that the increased number of Oklahomans who are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, we felt these distributions were needed, said Stacy Dykstra, chief executive officer of the Regional Food Bank. We are so grateful to our partners in these communities and their volunteers who helped provide food, and hope, to our neighbors in need of food assistance. Â
