Support organizations in Oklahoma provide Afghan refugees with halal food

Urban Mission, a drive-thru food resource center in Oklahoma, US, has been providing food packages to underprivileged families, including Afghan refugees.

Executive director German Garcia says each day the pantry delivers boxes of food to each car, feeding 250 households, among which about 20 are households of Afghans.

Until recently, the pantry partnered with some charity organizations to put together boxes of halal food for volunteers to deliver to Afghan refugee households, but Garcia said a recent decline of food supply, fewer monetary donations and strain on the pantry led to the end of the home-delivery program.
