On this edition of StudioTulsa, we hear from two institutions which are gearing up to feed more Tulsans and Oklahomans during the pandemic. Jorge Robles is the Chief Operating Officer of the Tulsa Public Schools, which instituted a feeding program that is now serving lunch and breakfast for 23,000 children a day at school sites and bus stops throughout the district. With the addition of "Tulsa Kitchens Unite," a collaboration between restaurants, Hunger Free Oklahoma, TPS, and other community partners, the food project is expected to expand to 30,000 suppers a week for children and their parents and guardians.
Plus, we'll hear how the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma is gearing up to serve more food-insecure Oklahomans. The food bank serves as the backbone for hundreds of community service organizations that feed the poor, the homeless, children, seniors, and veterans.
