PLEASE NOTE: If you are aware of additional food pantries for the area covered by this list, please reply with a comment that has their information, or you can contact us via email at support@nowthatscookin.com
Try to give detailed information like you find below. We will add that information into the master list.
NowThatsCookin.Com understands that there are times people are in need. And one of the biggest needs of individuals and most especially of families, is food. Keeping food on the table is taken for granted so many times, but it is when a family starts having issues fulfilling that basic need, that it no longer is taken for granted.
To that end, we do a couple of things.
First, we help promote special events at no charge, that have a food tie in and most especially a charitable food tie in. So when we become aware of events such as food drives, food pantry charity events, etc... we do what we can to help promote those events and do that at no charge to the event.
Secondly, we have launched this information sections such as this in regards to local food pantries, their locations, hours of operation, etc...
Please take time to share our site, let your facebook friends and twitter tweeters know we are here.

Services: Harvest House is committed to serving the poor and needy in the Tulsa community by attempting to meet some of their most pressing physical, social and spiritual needs in a manner that preserves their dignity and affirms their self-worth. Food for Families- Clients with Wednesday appointments are presented a menu of grocery items available that day, including fresh meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, and varying grocery items they can select from to meet their family’s nutrition and needs tastes. Harvest House will scale the quantities of each food group to the size of the household, endeavoring to provide ftheir days worth of healthy, nutritious food for the household. The food will be bagged and ready for delivery to the client’s automobile at the end of the client’s appointment. If a client comes in anyday without an appointment Harvest House will give them emergency bags of groceries composed of non-perishable items plus any extras available, scaled to the family size. Program:Clothing and Household GoodsBudget: $36,000Category: Human ServicesPopulation Served: Poor/Economically Disadvantaged, Indigent, General Program Description: Clothing and Household Goods -Harvest House receives donations of clothing and household items from various sources. Occasionally a retailer will donate a large amount of new clothing. These items are carefully sorted and only high quality gently used or new items will be cleaned, sorted and placed on clothing racks organized by season, style, garment type, color and size. These items are displayed to enable their clients to have a quality shopping experience selecting the items that are needed by their household members. They endeavor to give the lient a shopping experience equivalent to any nice second-hand clothing shop. Clients generally take home one shopping bag of clothing items per every two household members and another bag of household goods, but xtenuating circumstances are taken into consideration as needs areaddressed. Program:Utility Bill Payment AssistanceBudget: $11,500Category: HousingPopulation Served: Poor/Economically Disadvantaged, Indigent, General Program Description: Utilities- Their clients are often forced to choose between food for their families, clothes for the household and paying for utilities. With Oklahoma’sextreme weather conditions in both winter and summer, heat and electricity are vital for comfort, but can become a life support issue, especially if young children or elderly family members are in the household. Harvest House can contribute limited financial assistance in the form of utility bill payments on behalf of their clients if their utilities are about to be isconnected. Although they cannot pay the entire bill in most cases, the payments they make usually result in gaining another month for the client to gather the funds to make the full payment and have continued utility service. They will refer the client to other agencies that have the financial resources necessary to help the client get the bill paid in full. They believe this is a vital program that they would like to expand further through 2012 and beyond.
