On Thursday, July 23rd we will be serving at the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma starting at 1:30pm. We will meet at New Covenant’s south parking lot at 12:30 to pray together and then carpool to the Regional Food Bank (3355 S Purdue Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73179)!

Volunteers will do a variety of tasks: Backpacks for Kids, Pantry Boxes for Seniors, labeling bags, sorting produce or bread, and more, so this should be an easy volunteer opportunity for kids over 8, teens, and adults! A perfect way to serve as a family during the summer! Volunteers under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. This is also a great way to serve one weekday afternoon per month! Starting in August we will serve on the fourth TUESDAY of each month due to our recent partnership with Whiz Kids that will take place on Thursdays.

Please let Barbara Perry know if you can help serve by July 16th by emailing yrrep3@cox.net as she must register each person at RFB, seven days prior to the volunteering date.  Let Barbara know if you are willing to drive others in your car. 

The Food Bank distributes 50 million pounds of food each year, through its network of more than 1,300 community partners, in 53 counties in Oklahoma. What a fabulous and super-organized place to serve!

We hope you will consider joining this group, to help a great cause…fighting hunger in Oklahoma!
