The food and supplies we distribute come from the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, Feed The Children, Bar-S Foods Co. and personal donations. We also operate Thee Thrift Store, which is located in the same building. People, all across Washita County, have donated the items sold in “Thee Thrift Store”. The proceeds from “Thee Thrift Store”, as well as donations made to the food bank, help to pay for the food, utilities and rent. No one working in the food bank or “Thee Thrift Store” is paid; they volunteer their time and effort to give a helping hand to their friends and neighbors.

A Message from Elizabeth Newman, Founder
      My sister and brother-in-law, Bud & Colleen Flatt and their friends began in the 1970’s by giving away food from their own pantry to hungry families after the oil boom dropped. The Ministerial Alliance took over when it grew too big and the responsibility became too much. They passed away in the 1990’s but one of their freezers is still storing food at the Judah Food Bank.
