Oklahoma Farm Bureau teamed up with county Farm Bureaus to donate a total of $12,400 to food pantries and food assistance programs across the state through the 2024 Farm Bureau Cares: Community Food Donation Matching Program.
This year, more than 30 county Farm Bureaus and county Women’s Leadership Committees made donations to nutrition assistance programs in their communities, including local community food banks, church meal programs, organizations helping victims of domestic violence and more.
Launched in 2021, the program encourages county Farm Bureaus to make donations of food or money to organizations that help meet the nutritional needs of local residents. OKFB matched county Farm Bureau donations up to $100, doubling the impact of the grassroots organization.
As agriculturalists, Farm Bureau members know the importance of food security, and the Farm Bureau Cares program gives Oklahoma farmers and ranchers the opportunity to uplift their communities through sharing the products they grow to feed, clothe and fuel their fellow Oklahomans every day.
