Oklahoma-based OnCue is partnering with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, Our Daily Bread and other food pantries to minimize hunger and food waste, the retailer said in a statement sent to NACS.
“The cost of food is estimated to increase by 2.2% in 2025, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. This places a burden on many in Oklahoma, where 15.4% of households are currently food insecure,” the retailer said.
OnCue collects products from each store annually as it refreshes item selection. In 2024, OnCue collected $91,353.28 worth of non-perishable and personal care items. This is equivalent to 6,843 pounds of food, translating to 5,702 meals provided, the retailer said.
“We understand the burden that comes with the rising cost of food. Providing products to food resource centers is a small step we can take to give back,” said OnCue President Laura Aufleger. “We are thankful for the opportunity to make a small impact on such a large issue affecting our community.”
