(OKLAHOMA CITY) – April 15, 2024 – OKC Restaurant Week 2024, presented by Bank of Oklahoma, raised more than $81,000 for the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. The event, which ran from March 5 through 10, featured 38 locally operated restaurants, coffee shops and breweries donating a portion of sales to fight hunger in Oklahoma.
“OKC Restaurant Week is such a selfless act of love from our restaurant and brewery partners. Their generosity and commitment to the community will help the Regional Food Bank provide hundreds of thousands of meals to our neighbors living with hunger,” said Stacy Dykstra, chief executive officer of the Regional Food Bank.
OKC Restaurant Week 2024 featured a James Beard award winning chef as well as several restaurants included in best new restaurant lists in national publications. The Bank of Oklahoma joined OKC Restaurant Week as the presenting sponsor for the second year.
“OKC Restaurant Week allowed Bank of Oklahoma employees to build comradery, try new places and explore what Oklahoma City has to offer while knowing the proceeds will help benefit neighbors in our community,” said Greg Wheeler, Bank of Oklahoma market president, Oklahoma City. “We enjoyed partnering with coffee shops, restaurants, local breweries and the Regional Food Bank as we united for a common cause: fighting hunger in Oklahoma.”
OKC Restaurant Week is also made possible thanks to CSAA Insurance Group, LocaliQ, Lopez-Dorada Foods, Tinker Federal Credit Union and other generous sponsors.
