Our Commitment
Our Commitment
As Oklahoma’s only locally owned and operated multi-media company, we believe it’s not right that one in four kids does not get enough to eat.
Our kids are Oklahoma’s future. Together, we can drive childhood hunger out of our state.
More than 37% of emergency food recipients are children.
The Crisis
The Crisis
One in four children in Oklahoma has inconsistent access to food. The Regional Food Bank, the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma and many partner agencies, are working hard to end childhood hunger in Oklahoma by providing chronically hungry children with the meals they need today to help them thrive. More than 37 percent of emergency food recipients are children.
Because there is a critical connection between childhood nutrition and cognitive and physical development, even nutritional deficiencies of a relatively short-term nature can negatively impact a child's health, behavior and the ability to concentrate and perform complex tasks. Going without food can cause behavioral and psychological effects such as depression, aggression, anxiety and poor social skills in children. Food is the most essential school supply. Hungry children cannot learn.
When Hunger Ends, Learning Begins.

Show Kindness
‘Show kindness. You never know the difference it can make.’ Those words came from my dad as he reflected on the man who gave him a meal when he was climbing into a dumpster looking for food as a child. That, along with the stories I’ve heard from children who get a backpack full of food, has me certain that we’re making a difference. No child should go hungry and Food for Kids makes sure that doesn’t happen.

It’s heartbreaking
It’s heartbreaking to think of kids going hungry, and how their lack of food today impacts their chances for success, not only today, but in the future.
