LAWTON, Okla. (TNN) - Arvest Bank’s 11th annual Million Meals Campaign has exceeded 500,000 meals, or half its goal so far.
They only have one month left to go!
This year, Arvest is accepting monetary donations at its branches and drive-thrus and via the Arvest Go mobile app until May 29.
Arvest is unable to accept food donations this year.
However, every dollar raised through Million Meals provides the equivalent of five meals for local, hungry families.
Arvest in Southwest Oklahoma has partnered with Lawton Food Bank, Christian’s Concerned in Duncan, Chickasha Emergency Food Pantry, Elgin Food Bank and Walters Food4Kids.
Arvest Bank in Lawton is Hosting a SHRED-A-THON This Friday!
Time to start going through all your old paperwork, mail and other items that may contain personal or banking information and properly get rid of them once and for all. With it being Spring now s the perfect time to do a little, or maybe a whole lot of cleaning around the house, shed and garage. Most household trash, clutter and junk can be disposed of pretty easily. But when it comes to anything that may have personal information on it, it s better to be safe than sorry. The last thing you want to have happen is to have your identity stolen because you didn t shred or destroy paperwork or old mail. That s were Arvest Bank comes in!

Sylvan Learning Center finishes up food drive in Lawton
Sylvan Learning Center finishes up food drive in Lawton By Tiffany Bechtel | December 18, 2020 at 9:36 PM CST - Updated December 18 at 9:36 PM
LAWTON, Okla. (TNN) - The Sylvan Learning Center in Lawton has been holding a holiday food drive for the past couple of weeks.
This isn’t the first time they’ve held a food drive, but decided to aim higher this year because the pandemic has cause so many to the struggle.
Sylvan challenged students to bring in at least 50 items, but the students were able to beat that challenge by collecting more than six times the items. They far exceeded expectations by donating over 300 non-perishable items for families in need this holiday season.
Board member Kyle Cabelka said that protocols have hit into the traditional methods for fundraising.
âTypically, this time of year, Lawton AMBUCS will get kids from The Salvation Army and taken them on a shopping spree,â he said. âWe are down as far as revenue this year due to COVID and not getting to have Pancake Days.â
Pancake Days is an annual fundraiser event held in early November. It is also the biggest fundraising opportunity for the organization and, without it, things are tougher this year. But it doesnât mean this long-time service club isnât finding a way.
