  • General

    500,000 Oklahomans are at risk of going hungry every day.

    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.

About me:

.. Our mission is to help the charitable community effectively feed people in need.

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.

    I know this is a lot to ask from you as my friend but, I would like to ask all my friends and their friends to ask all their friends to add us as a friend. My thinking is that as many we all can do more. Our food program is in need of a tractor and our country has many Hungry Americans. When they are more of us doing a little... there is LOTS we can do to Help Our Fellow Americans. Besides... it could be one of us next to have to deal with Hunger! When many do a little... there's not such a burden on just a few. Could you help us in getting the word out to all your friends and Help Us Help Feed the Hungry Americans in Need? Ask them to visit our MySpace page to view our information provided and choose for themselves if they would like to add us. Thank You in Advance for Your Support and Your Valuable time! Sincerely, Jim Bonham Lighthouse Food Program http://www.myspace.com/jims_lighthouse <br />

    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.
