“The PLATE Collective is a powerful way for young professionals to grow in their knowledge of hunger in Oklahoma, expand their network and make a difference in the lives of Oklahomans,” said Stacy Dykstra, chief executive officer of the Regional Food Bank.
The PLATE Collective will meet monthly throughout the year-long commitment. Members of The PLATE Collective will stay involved throughout the year by joining in fundraising initiatives, community service projects and networking events. The program also features important learning opportunities designed to appeal to active young professionals.
