Oklahoma City, Okla. - Despite a recent budget cut to Oklahoma senior nutrition programs, the Young Democrats of Oklahoma Minority Caucus reached out to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma City Saturday.

“According to a recent USDA study, Oklahoma ranks eighth in the nation for the number of people who experience hunger, per capita,” YDO Minority Caucus Chair Jonathan Still said. “Oklahoma is seventh in the nation for reduced food intake, or food insecurity. We are just showing Oklahoma that Democrats can help by spending some time at the food bank. ”

With a budget cut of more than $14.6 million, the Commission for Human Services will reduce programs, such as senior nutrition. The agency’s Aging Services Division received a budget cut of approximately $7.4 million.

"The Republican leadership in the state legislature could have avoided this problem, but instead they chose to give big tax breaks on the backs of hungry seniors. This has got to stop," said YDO President Dale Denwalt. "Thank God for people like Jonathan and [the YDO] Minority Caucus who step up and help those in need."

While Oklahoma hunger affects minorities and single mothers at a higher proportion, seniors are also at a significant disadvantage, said Still.
