United Is The Way

Food insecurity affects millions—and it’s about more than hunger. It impacts health, opportunity, and dignity. At United Way, we believe no one should have to choose between nutritious food and other essentials.

We partner with community organizations to bring people together and create lasting change. In Oklahoma, Tulsa Area United Way has partnered with La Cosecha, an operation that has grown to serve thousands of families every week.

In 2023, Tulsa Area United Way awarded a Social Innovation Grant to support and expand the work of La Cosecha. This grant provided funding, along with access to training and capacity-building resources.

While meeting immediate needs, the food distribution site has also been connecting families to a broader support network through 211 Eastern Oklahoma, which connects people to local resources from housing and utilities to disaster services and support groups.

Wherever there is a need in our communities, United Way is there. Our reach across tens of thousands of communities means we share innovations and scale impact to improve lives around the world. Your support fuels our mission.
