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.

And the richer, tastier queso isn’t all that will be bueno on that date. Taco Bueno will match all sales from the new queso offer for the participating eight food banks, making the day even “More Bueno.”

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.
