Oklahoma County commissioners on Sept. 2 approved a resolution to recognize September as Hunger Action Month after a presentation from the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.
Stacy Dykstra, who identified herself as with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, asked the commissioners to recognize the month and said the food bank and county offices had been in touch about canned-food drives and other partnerships to address food insecurity. Dykstra said the recognition is “a wonderful time to celebrate hunger action month and to deepen collaborations and expand partnerships to make sure that no 1 bases hunger in Oklahoma.”
A commissioner moved to adopt the resolution; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. The resolution text was attached to the agenda but no ordinance or resolution number was recorded in the spoken record and the transcript does not list any specific county-funded commitments tied to the proclamation.
