Posted on January 13th, 2022

Throughout 2021 Reasor’s had many fundraising drives for the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma.  During the year, Reasor’s raised or donated over $3,783,200.  We know that 1 in 6 Oklahomans, including one in four children are considered food insecure. That’s why we want to help. From Recycle Hope, to Food 2 Families, Spring for Meals and our Perishable Pick Up Program that donates all unsalable, distressed, or close to dated food directly to the food bank, we want to make a difference in our community.

  • We also have a perishable pick up program in place to donate all unsalable, surplus, distressed, or close to date food directly to the Eastern Oklahoma Community Food Bank. Every week the Food Bank receives these items from our stores and delivers it to those in need in our community. We donated 1,078,902 pounds of food, which equals 899,085 meals.
