1 Million Meals

Arvest has launched their 1 Million Meals initiative to raise 1 million meals via donations of non-perishable food items and monetary contributions. Over a 2 month span, Arvest will hold a bank wide effort to provide 1 million meals or more to those in need. By partnering with 60 Food Banks in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma, the money and food donated will stay local and help our neighbors who are struggling with food insecurity.

This year, rather than their traditional fall timeframe, Arvest has decided to begin their initiative in the spring months leading into summer to meet the “spring gap” often experienced by Food Banks at this time. Due to decreased donations and an increase in need during the summer months, Arvest has stepped up to the plate, through fundraising events, nonperishable food drives and other volunteer activities, to raise 1 million meals.
