The Tulsa Dream Center as is preparing for an even bigger effort in the fight against hunger in 2021.
“For 20 years, we have been doing a food program and we knew we had to continue to find ways to serve people in need,” Dream Center Executive Director Aaron Johnson said.
Johnson said in his four years at the nonprofit, 2020 has seen its biggest response yet in feeding the hungry.
“Whether you were wealthy, middle class, or financially struggling, the pandemic affected all classes, all races,” Johnson said.
During the pandemic, they have served almost 14 million meals. Johnson said help from churches, nonprofits, and even funding from the Farmers to Family Food Box program through the CARES Act made it possible.
