 *Thank you so much for your service to the poor of Oklahoma City*

We deliver several tons of food every month, and we are happy to receive
donations of food to give to the poor. The most important foods that we need
are listed below, ranked by their order of importance. The ranking is based
on balancing the questions, "How difficult is this food for us to get", "How
expensive is it", and "How important is it". We strongly urge you to think
beyond the "a few cans of generic green beans" when you think about donating
food to be given to the poor. Powdered milk hasn't been available at all for
several months. Peanut butter is a very important, high protein, comfort
food. Canned fruit is an important source of nutrients. Canned meat, soups,
and chili are always in short supply. Cooking oil and sugar are useful for
preparing other foods, and are expensive to buy. We encourage people to have
food drives at their schools, parishes, or workplaces and collect food items
on this list for us to deliver to the poor.

Please feel free to forward this along to your various constituencies

"We are poor - yes, and I trust the Lord will keep us poor. Anybody who can
make money and get rich is not fit to be a Pentecostal Nazarene. If a man is
worthy of the cause, he will pour his money out."
- PF Breese

"Today it is very fashionable to talk about the poor. Unfortunately it is
very unfashionable to talk with them."
-Mother Teresa
