Our Mission
We are dedicated to doing our part to help the hungry and homeless in central Oklahoma because we know the need is great.
​
Thank you to all of the churches, businesses, and individuals who partnered with us to make this possible.
Know
The
Need
400,000 Oklahomans live in extreme poverty.
648,000 Oklahomans live with food insecurity.
The need to feed the hungry in Oklahoma is extremely great. Each of those numbers represents people who struggle to find food to eat each day. Not only are some Oklahomans struggling with hunger, there are several thousand unable to find adequate housing. According to the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, "Oklahoma had an estimated 3,944 experiencing homelessness on any given day. Of that Total, 300 were family households, 280 were Veterans, 322 were unaccompanied young adults (aged 18-24), and 954 were individuals experiencing chronic homelessness."
See
The
Need
Our invitation to you is to come see the need for your self. In one short visit you can see the impact we are having in the lives of the hungry and homeless. You could help someone load up their groceries or talk to one of our transitional housing residents. Our staff would like to show you around and help you see the need in Central Oklahoma.
Meet
The
Need
The main way we meet the need in our community is through our food pantry. Those in need are allowed to come visit the pantry once a month and pick out the food that best meets the needs of their family. The amount of food they receive is based on the number of people in their home. Our food pantry only operates with your help. We operate entirely off of the generosity of people like you. Without you, there would be no The Mission.
