TULSA, Okla. — La Cosecha nonprofit food pantry started helping the Tulsa community years ago.
It is a completely free program community members can take advantage of if they need some extra food.
Mary Muñoz makes sure to do just that, "This program is so important for the community because we can use it. Because it's a resource we can use as a community."
Especially at a time when everything is so expensive.
She said thanks to La Cosecha she saves up to about $100 a week because of the food she receives at the food pantry.
According to Austin Smith, Director of Operations at La Cosecha, he wants to be able to give back to the volunteers.
"Volunteers are literally the backbone of any nonprofit," he said.
Each Thursday, volunteers set up and take down the drive-thru food dispensary and it's a lot of work. Smith said between 2,000 and 3,000 individuals get help every week.
If you are interested in becoming involved with La Cosecha or benefiting from their services, you can find more on their website.
