Food Distribution for Black Towns in Oklahoma Centered in Clearview

The Original Historically Black Towns of Oklahoma are the recipients of food boxes containing fresh produce and dairy for eight weeks. In collaboration with Emmanuel Tabernacle, New Life, St. Jude, and Ebenezer churches in Oklahoma City, they organized and are receiving food donation to be disturbed to a truly diverse area of OKC that has a great need of food. Angela Bush Scobey, daughter of Peter and Helen Bush of Clearview and wife of Pastor Derrick Scobey of Ebenezer, had the idea of setting aside boxes each week to be distribute to Black Towns. Angela contacted her cousin Shirley Nero to coordinate with towns to come to Clearview for pick up of food boxes for distribution in their own towns. They each receive at least 25 to 100 boxes each week. Towns served include all towns listed in the 13 original Black towns plus IXL and some residents in Weleetka. The towns are grateful to the work of the churches in OKC for sharing their gift of boxes and for the volunteers for their time and vehicles.
