Mission and programs · 2024

• Tulsa Farm Lab - In 2024, Tulsa Farm lab had 861 visitors, holding 25 training classes and 12 community events with over 5,000 attendees. 12,597 lbs of produce were harvested. The farm was started to grow fresh food for the mobile store. It includes a greenhouse, hoop house, food forest, produce production, bees, and composting. Tulsa Farm Lab is a curriculum rich field trip that connects students with where their food comes using grade specific standards in science, technology, engineering, arts and math woven into an investigation of food systems. It is also the homebase for the Fresh Food Academy where participants harvest and pack food from the farm for the food hub, mobile grocery, and grocery boxes.

Tulsa Regional Food Hub is a collaboration of multiple organizations to overcome challenges in the food supply chain which present significant barriers for healthy food access. RG Foods is a partner on the Tulsa County Food Plan committee spearheading the feasibility study for the formation of a Food Hub Cooperative to facilitate this collaboration. The proposed facility will support bulk purchasing, access to special pricing, strategic calendaring, expanding purchasing options and ease distribution logistics. In 2024, the Food Hub aggregated 78,000 lbs of food for ten organizations, and $135,000 in retail products to strengthen the local supply chain.

It is constructed of Standard Insulated Panels (SIP) providing 60% reduction in energy costs and a modular design that is easily replicable providing a low cost entry and a nimble solution to re-populate neighborhoods with fresh food stores. It is also an economic solution to food insecurity by providing a social entrepreneurial opportunity for residents to own and operate their own neighborhood stores. 2024 continued the planning and building stage for The Grocery Box with the grand opening expected in Spring 2025.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.
