No family should be without food this holiday season.

The giving season is the perfect time to take advantage of the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma’s Holiday Match.

The Regional Food Bank provides food to a number of Kingfi sher County food resources.

Through the end of the year, all donations, up to $600,000, are matched thanks to gifts from APMEX.com , Cresap Family Foundation and Chesapeake Energy Corporation.

The match ensures that each dollar donated to the Regional Food Bank helps to provide for eight meals to Oklahomans living with food insecurity. After the match is met, every dollar still helps provide four meals.

“The issue of hunger is widespread in our state and affects countless families, children, seniors and veterans,” said John Cresap with the Cresap Family Foundation. “We are immensely proud to partner with the Regional Food Bank, Chesapeake Energy and APMEX.com and provide incentive for others to join the fi ght against hunger.”

One in six Oklahomans go to sleep each night not knowing where their next meal will come from. “The holidays can be a stressful time for families. Colder weather brings higher utility bills and you begin to plan for holiday celebrations and gifts.

“You shouldn’t have to decide between paying your utility bill and providing food for your family,” said Katie Fitzgerald, chief executive officer of the Regional Food Bank.

“We are thankful to our Holiday Match sponsors for encouraging others to donate during this very important giving season.”
