Who We Are

The Lawton Food Bank was established on 1 August 1985, by Carter and Marilyn Crane. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and a proud partner agency with the United Way of Southwest Oklahoma and the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. We are located at 1819 SW Sheridan Road, in our new facility, made possible through the generosity of the McMahon Foundation.
The Lawton Food Bank provides food and other items to low-income residents of southwest Oklahoma. In 2021, the Lawton Food Bank gave 879,180 pounds of food to 16,993 families. We also provided 204 boxes to prequalified seniors each month.
Whenever children are out of school is our busiest time of year. Our needs include canned meats, proteins, personal hygiene items, baby food, diapers, and of course, monetary donations. Your Lawton Food Bank can feed a family of four with one dollar. With $300, we can purchase as much as 8,000 pounds of food. The donated dollar goes far at the Lawton Food Bank. Community support is our lifeline, be it through donations or volunteers, together we can help our neighbors in need.
