One in five children in Oklahoma is a risk of going to bed hungry every night.
Oklahoma ranks among the top five states in the nation in food insecurity.
The Food Bank provides enough food to feed 63,600 people each week.
In the last fiscal year, the Food Bank distributed 25 million pounds of food. We serve more than 450 charitable feeding programs in 53 counties in central and western Oklahoma.
Charitable feeding programs include: homeless shelters, soup kitchens, emergency food pantries, senior citizen centers, children’s programs, women’s shelters, drug and alcohol treatment centers, and mobile meal programs.
For every dollar donated, the Food Bank can provide seven meals.
The Food Bank’s administrative costs are less than 4 percent.
Since 1980, the Food Bank has distributed 295 million pounds of food.
Forty percent of the people we serve are the working poor – a family of three with an average household income of $11,440 ($4,000 below the poverty level).
The agencies we serve are reporting a 20 to 50 percent increase in the need for services this year due to the poor economy and the rising cost of food and fuel.

So here's the deal... we are a part of this year's March Bandness Competition on 94.7 The Buzz. We would like to show Oklahoma that there are still real musicians out there making real music. With your help, we might have a chance to win, and help set the record straight for our great state in 2009! The prize money alone ($2000) could be the key to helping us get our debut record out there much sooner. We've spent every penny we have over the last two months to promote our band and spread the word to as many people as possible... We're now broke but desperately want to get a record in your hands ASAP. Every vote that gets cast for us is one more step in the right direction. The sooner we can get our record done, the sooner we can begin touring. Click the image below, and cast your vote for The Fine Print today!!! You can refresh the page and vote as many times as you want to. If you vote for us, we'll get you in to one of our next shows for free. That's how determined we are. Thank you all so much. We love you Oklahoma.
