“Tulsa Public Schools has done a fantastic job of providing meals to its students throughout the pandemic,” said Jeff Marlow, chief culinary officer for the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma. “This partnership will bring additional relief to so many families just now getting back on their feet or who continue to struggle with low-wage jobs and unemployment. Through these meals, we hope children and adults will be well-nourished through the summer and ready to rise to their full potential.”

Tulsa Public Schools is also continuing operations of the grab-and-go meal sites and mobile meals bus stops throughout the summer. Summer Cafe provides nutritious meals free of charge to children ages 18 and under during the summer months.
