“Spring is typically the time of year when the Food Bank begins getting ready for the additional need of summer meals,” said Regan Leake, development manager for the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma. “For children and families struggling to get by, circumstances like layoffs and health issues during the pandemic have expanded the need for food. We thank Reasor’s for their commitment to fighting hunger in eastern Oklahoma.”The Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma delivers food to clients through its network of 350 Partner Agencies.
