Food on the Move is creating resilient food systems that nourish and empower communities through access and education. Throughout each month, Food on the Move and its partner organizations join together to support better nutrition and local food systems across the region. With continuous hands-on training and innovative year-round growing, Food on the Move is designed to make a lasting impact that will be felt for years to come.
Through collaborative partnerships with community organizations, corporate sponsors, government agencies, and a vast volunteer network, Food on the Move has been a consistent presence in Tulsa for over a decade. In 2024, Food on the Move’s Food and Resource Festivals distributed 150,854 pounds of produce and 14,632 hot meals, serving a total of 8,167 households. With live music, dancing, children’s activities, fresh produce, and hot meals, these events are designed to nourish both body and soul. Access should not be a luxury, so it is imperative that guests leave not only with fresh, healthy food but also with the reassurance that they belong to a caring community.
Responding to the increasing demands of surrounding communities, Food on the Move began construction on The Food Home Campus, a three-phase initiative designed to strengthen Oklahoma’s food system. This project encompasses an urban farm, food hub, and community gathering space, all designed to provide year-round access to healthy food, support local farmers, and offer educational opportunities in sustainable agriculture. The Food Home Campus is designed to be a place where learning, growing, and access come together. The innovative facilities will provide hands-on training in hydroponics, aquaponics, and traditional farming through which individuals will learn to grow their own fresh and healthy food. Looking ahead, these initiatives will continue to drive the mission forward, creating long-term solutions for food security and economic empowerment. This campus is more than a farm; it’s a place to gather, share knowledge, and create a more sustainable food network.
This wouldn’t be possible without the continued support from dedicated volunteers, community partners, and generous donors. To see how you can make an impact, visit FoodOnTheMoveOK.com.
