United Way of Central Oklahoma is launching an emergency food drive to help stock the shelves of United Way Partner Agency food pantries across our communities. This urgent initiative comes in response to the increased food insecurity and the pending loss of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.
The food drive aims to fill a critical gap for families and individuals who are experiencing hardship due to the reduction in assistance. United Way’s network of Partner Agencies has reported a sharp rise in demand for food support, and this drive will help ensure that local United Way Partner Agencies’ pantries in central Oklahoma, Canadian County and Logan County can continue to serve those in need.
