As the country faces an ongoing state of emergency, two local organizations are stepping up to provide essential support to those in dire need. The Dunbar All-School Center (old Banneker) and New Salem Baptist Church have partnered to launch a community assistance program called “Bean Dinners.”
The initiative aims to meet the needs of the community by offering a comforting, free meal. The dinners will feature delicious brown and white beans, along with sweet cornbread.
— Key Details on Assistance
• What: Brown and white beans with sweet cornbread.
• Where: Dunbar All-School Center (old Banneker at E. 2nd Street between Muskogee and Delaware).
• When: Every Tuesday until further notice, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. or until all meals have been distributed.
Organizers are emphasizing the spirit of community support, reminding residents, “Let’s remember at some point or another we all may need a hand up not a handout.”
— Call for Donations
To ensure the continuation of this vital program, the partnership is collecting donations of brown and white beans. Community members are encouraged to contribute to help continue feeding the community, as all donations will be greatly appreciated.
