OnCue collected $60,236 in nonperishable items from stores to distribute to local food banks and other high-impact community organizations this year, along with $19,713 in monetary donations for specially labeled sales items in stores.
The largest recipient was the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, which received more than 3,500 pounds, the equivalent to 2,916 meals for those in need. The organization also received $14,000-plus in financial support through the sale of select wines at OnCue stores.
Our Daily Bread, a food resource center in OnCue’s hometown of Stillwater, Okla., received more than $11,000 worth of food products and $5,706 in financial support.
“We love working with our local food banks to help feed, educate, and advocate for those in our communities living with hunger,” said Laura Aufleger, president of OnCue. “We know that Oklahoma and Texas have some of highest rates of food scarcity in the nation, which pushes us to continue to look for new ways to expand our impact. This year we even included support through the sale of select wines in our stores. Thank you to all our customers who support these programs with their purchases.”
