On Thursday, August 27th 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. Volunteers under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. This is also a great way to serve one weekday afternoon per month! Upcoming dates to serve will be on the fourth Thursday each month.
Please let Barbara Perry know if you can help serve by August 19th 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!
