Reasor’s customers purchased 8,634 bags.
Additionally, this year, Dietz & Watson® donated $1000 and KJRH Channel 2 donated $500 to the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma.
This equates to $153,326 raised when you combine the donation cards, bag sales, and Dietz and Watson and KJRH’s contribution.

These programs include food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters, after school programs and senior citizen centers. Through this network, the food bank provides more than 346,000 meals each week.
