Giving Good

The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, a member of the Feeding America network of Food Banks, is the largest private domestic hunger-relief charity in the state – providing enough food to feed more than 116,000 hungry Oklahomans every week, 37 percent of which are children. One in four children and one in six adults struggle with hunger, never certain where their next meal will come from or if there will even be a next meal.

Serving Sonoma County since 1987, the Redwood Empire Food Bank (REFB) has grown to serve every area of the county: from Petaluma to Cloverdale, Sonoma Valley to Occidental, and everywhere in between. We have developed three major hunger initiatives to provide low-income children, seniors and families their most basic necessity – nutritious food.

Neighbors serving neighbors in need, improving the lives of people in Bloomington, Richfield, Edina and South Minneapolis, provide range of services to help low-income people meet their immediate needs to reach their long-term goal of stability.

Prevent domestic abuse, provide children and adults a continuum of service that builds sustainable self-reliance and revives the human spirit, work towards ending the generational cycle of violence and abuse

Through the effective reuse of donated items, Bridging improves lives by providing quality furniture and household goods to those transitioning out of homelessness and poverty.

Be a role model for NYC youth! Learn how you can volunteer in a Junior Achievement of New York “JA in a Day”, and help connect classroom learning with real world experiences through hands-on, activity-based programming. As a volunteer, you’ll be leading an age-appropriate JA program that covers important topics on money management, career preparation, and entrepreneurship. You can help local students learn success skills while inspiring them to stay in school and achieve their goals. All training, lesson plans, and colorful teaching materials will be provided. The teacher will also remain with you in the classroom to help manage the students. As a volunteer, you will inspire students to believe in themselves and motivate them to succeed. You’ll also give them a fun, high-energy day that will make a lasting impact!

Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. We welcome, train and deploy individuals and groups from faith institutions, corporations, educational and community groups to work toward providing New Yorkers with quality, affordable homeownership. No construction experience is necessary, and we provide all tools and training.
