Area food pantries across the Oklahoma Panhandle and Southwest Kansas received a welcome boost this holiday season thanks to the generosity of TCEC employees and board members. Each year, employees select local food pantries to support through voluntary payroll deductions and one-time donations.
In addition to employee giving, the TCEC board of directors also made their own contribution, further expanding the cooperative’s impact. This year’s contributions totaled more than $7,400, providing important resources to eight food pantries that serve families facing food insecurity.
These donations help stock pantry shelves during one of the most critical times of the year, supporting children, seniors, and families across the region.
The following food pantries received funds.
