As the holiday season approaches, many families in our community face the challenge of putting nutritious food on the table. To address this need, Okies Thriftway is proudly hosting the annual Bag Local Hunger program, running now through November 29th. This initiative makes it easy for customers to make a direct impact by donating food to local food banks, providing essential groceries to those who need them most.

By donating $20, you can purchase a specially prepared bag of groceries valued at $37.22. Each bag is filled with non-perishable items that cover basic nutritional needs, such as canned vegetables, pasta, peanut butter, and more. This carefully selected assortment ensures that families can create satisfying meals during these difficult times.

The donation package includes:

Essential Everyday Tuna (5 oz)

Essential Everyday Raisin Bran Cereal (16.6 oz)

Essential Everyday Spaghetti (16 oz)

Essential Everyday Pasta Sauce, Traditional (24 oz)

Each $20 donation directly supports local food banks, helping families who might otherwise struggle to access these vital supplies. Additionally, cash donations are also welcome, providing more flexibility for the food banks to acquire items they may be short on.

How to Participate: Simply inform the cashier at Okies Thriftway that you would like to contribute to the Bag Local Hunger program. Whether you’re donating a $20 bag or making a cash contribution, every dollar makes a difference and brings hope to families in our community.

Thank you for your generosity and support. Let’s work together to make sure that no one in our community goes hungry this holiday season. Well done Okie’s thriftway!!
