Food Pantry
The Skyline Food Pantry operates as a “choice pantry” whereby the clients can select their own foods, based on their family size and food preferences. The Cupboard serves as a “model choice pantry” and many similar organizations have toured The Cupboard to see how it works. In 2011, the Community Cupboard served over 18,000 hungry individuals- over half being children. For more information on hunger in Oklahoma and our country, please visit these websites:
