During the school year, she said, families count on school lunches to help with feeding their children.

Barnes said the organization welcomes monetary donations, which can be used to buy food from the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.

The agency also accepts donations of food and household goods.

Mission Norman's goal is to minister to low-income families and the homeless by providing food, utility and rental assistance, medical/pharmacy assistance and spiritual guidance, Barnes said.

“We try to do for the community what Jesus would want us to do,” Gene Barnes said. “Jesus would not want anyone to go hungry, and neither do we.”
