The Oklahoma City nonprofit, located at 6300 N. Santa Fe in Oklahoma City, is asking for donations of non-perishable food items, including canned foods, dry cereal, noodles and other shelf stable meals that will help keep Oklahomans fed during the government shutdown.

Food items are being collected at Santa Fe through Nov. 15 during the facility’s regular business hours, which are 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 5:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, and on the weekends from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Bags of groceries will be available until supplies run out on the day of the community luncheon, which is open to SNAP recipients and their immediate families.
