500,000 Oklahomans will wake up today and wonder where their next meal will come from. Oklahoma ranks as the sixth hungriest state in the nation, but thanks to donors, volunteers and advocates, the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma is "Fighting Hunger...Feeding Hope."

Established in 1980, the Regional Food Bank is the largest private hunger-relief organization in the state of Oklahoma. In Fiscal Year 2010, the Regional Food Bank distributed 36.5 million pounds of food through a network of more than 700 charitable feeding programs and elementary schools, in 53 central and western Oklahoma counties. Each week, we provide enough food to feed more than 77,000 hungry Oklahomans – nearly half of which are children.

The Regional Food Bank's administrative costs are below 5 percent, which means 95 cents of every dollar donated helps to directly provide food to Oklahomans in need.
