Oklahoma Farm Bureau is proud to partner with County Farm Bureaus around the state to make donations to local food pantries and other community nutrition assistance programs now through March 31 through the 2024 Farm Bureau Cares: Community Food Donation Matching program.
Launched in 2021, the program encourages county Farm Bureaus to make donations of food or money to local organizations that help meet the nutritional needs of our fellow Oklahomans. OKFB matches county Farm Bureau donations up to $100, doubling the impact of our grassroots organization.
As farmers, ranchers and rural community members, OKFB members are proud to produce the food that Oklahomans need, and the matching program allows members to help ensure food security for our fellow rural residents.
In 2023, more than $20,000 was donated statewide to local food assistance programs through this partnership between OKFB and county Farm Bureau leaders.
County Farm Bureau members are encouraged to join OKFB for our 2024 food donation matching program to show our local communities that Farm Bureau members truly care about food security in Oklahoma.
Donations must be completed and online matching forms submitted by March 31, 2024.
