In Response to the Tornado in Oklahoma

Our prayers and thoughts go out to our friends and sister food bank in Oklahoma City.  We are on stand-by as needed for disaster services.  At this time we are following the lead of the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.

For now, they have discouraged donations of clothing and supplies due to the burden of securing warehouse space and volunteers to work the donated product.  Per their instructions the most effective impact can be made with financial donations to the rescue, recovery and disaster relief efforts with donations of cash to your favorite responding charity that way they can purchase the items they need.

To make a tax deductible donation to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, text FOOD to 32333 to give $10 to relief efforts.

CoBank Support Continues with Double Donation

We are honored to announce that the Kansas Food Bank has received $100,000 from CoBank in 2013.  As a mission-based lender and Government Sponsored Enterprise, CoBank is committed to serving as a good corporate citizen. The bank is an active supporter of charitable causes around the country, particularly in communities where its associates, directors and customers live and work.

In 2012 when CoBank merged with U.S. Ag Bank in Wichita, CoBank committed to a three year donation of $50,000 each year to the Kansas Food Bank for food procurement and distribution.

In addition, this year CoBank has committed an additional $100,000 over the next two years to assist us with our rural programs serving drought stricken counties.

We are thankful to CoBank for supporting our mission and work.

Thinking about meals when kids are not in school….

When school is not in session, many kids wonder where their next meal will come from.  Thanks to our community partnerships you can help ensure children have access to meals during the summer.
