About Farm to food bank

The Oklahoma Food Banks and the Conservation Partnership (Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts, Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Oklahoma Conservation Commission) have joined together to fight hunger while conserving natural resources. Through Farm to Food Bank, farmers are planting multi-species, edible cover crops that increase the health of the soil. Since 2017, there have been more than 20 Farm to Food Bank sites across Oklahoma. Oklahoma farmers volunteer to plant and donate one to four acres of edible cover crops to local Community Organizations and Food Pantries. Currently, there are gleaning opportunities in the following Counties:

Grady

Osage

Kay

Dewey

Kingfisher
