1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.919
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.160
<v Speaker 1>It's time now for our community connection right here on

3
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.320
<v Speaker 1>K one, the one you trust. Ms Whitney is in

4
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.160
<v Speaker 1>with his hair from our vest bank and we've got

5
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:18.679
<v Speaker 1>the million meals going on. How are we progressing.

6
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:23.039
<v Speaker 2>We're doing great. We're halfway through our campaign. We have

7
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:25.800
<v Speaker 2>one month left to go. We've raised a lot of

8
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:28.879
<v Speaker 2>money so far. So for those of you who've made

9
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:31.000
<v Speaker 2>a donation, we want to say a big thank you.

10
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.079
<v Speaker 2>I know Mary Martha is going to put that money

11
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.079
<v Speaker 2>to great use, but we still haven't met our goal yet.

12
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:39.600
<v Speaker 2>And so I think the last time we were here

13
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:41.920
<v Speaker 2>we talked a little bit about it's our fifteen year

14
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:46.079
<v Speaker 2>anniversary and so strong yes, and so we want to

15
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:48.719
<v Speaker 2>raise fifteen percent more this year than we did last year.

16
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.039
<v Speaker 2>And so we still got a little ways, a little

17
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.000
<v Speaker 2>runway ahead of us, and we're excited that we're going

18
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:53.679
<v Speaker 2>to meet that goal.

19
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.079
<v Speaker 3>Who's our food partner here in our area.

20
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.719
<v Speaker 4>It's Mary Martha Outreach Catholic Charities.

21
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:02.799
<v Speaker 2>Missy Wishall and her team are excellent partners in crime

22
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:03.520
<v Speaker 2>for us.

23
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.040
<v Speaker 4>They do great work in this community.

24
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.319
<v Speaker 2>And so we've been partnering with them for several years,

25
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:11.280
<v Speaker 2>and we're just proud of all the work that they

26
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:16.079
<v Speaker 2>do to feed our neighbors and community members here in Martlesville.

27
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Now, with our best we've got quite a footprint here

28
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>in Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma and.

29
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:24.200
<v Speaker 3>All over the place.

30
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Really, but this just doesn't help right here, and this

31
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:30.599
<v Speaker 1>helps everywhere. We have our best location.

32
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.480
<v Speaker 4>Correct, we have over eighty food partners that we work with.

33
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Lordy, Yes, if you make a donation here in Bartlesville

34
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 2>or Dewey, it's going to stay here locally, But in

35
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.239
<v Speaker 2>those other communities, our other partners are working with them,

36
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>and so if a donation is made in Fayeville, Arkansas,

37
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 2>it stays in Fayeville, Arkansas, or if it's right here

38
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 2>in Bartlesville, it stays in Bartlesville. And it's really important

39
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.879
<v Speaker 2>to us because we have a lot of great partners

40
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.799
<v Speaker 2>that we work with in the town that we serve

41
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.920
<v Speaker 2>and the communities that we serve, and we want to

42
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 2>be able to support those local communities and those local nonprofits.

43
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>That's what it's all about, you know, when we're here

44
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>just taking business, taking care of business at our best.

45
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>You're so much a part of our community. We see

46
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:23.719
<v Speaker 1>your workers everywhere and everything, so we know it's a handshake,

47
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>it's an understanding. We all mesh, we all take together.

48
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 1>We all know what's going on in our community, and

49
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.479
<v Speaker 1>if we see something that needs fixing, well, we identify it.

50
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 1>And this is one of them that our vest is

51
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>really tackled and tackled well for fifteen years.

52
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:38.080
<v Speaker 4>Yes, sir, you know.

53
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.319
<v Speaker 2>One of the things that we know about the communities

54
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.599
<v Speaker 2>that we serve in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas is

55
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 2>that they're one of the highest in food insecurities in

56
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 2>the nation. Oklahoma is rked fifth in the nation. Arkansas

57
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 2>is even higher than that. And so we know that

58
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 2>there's a need here and there's a lot of folks

59
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.360
<v Speaker 2>that don't know where their next meal is coming.

60
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 4>During the summertime.

61
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:03.039
<v Speaker 2>Families are struggling to put food on the table for

62
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:05.719
<v Speaker 2>kids that are at home, and so this is an

63
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:10.719
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to support those families and those young people to

64
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.039
<v Speaker 2>be able to relieve some stress, be able to feel

65
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>good about Hey, we know where the next mills coming.

66
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.159
<v Speaker 2>We don't have to make a decision whether we're going

67
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 2>to pay the rent or buy food there's an opportunity there,

68
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.919
<v Speaker 2>and Misty and her group always do a great job

69
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.960
<v Speaker 2>of outreach to let people know that there's you know,

70
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:33.520
<v Speaker 2>absolutely no shame. We all have times where we need

71
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>help and this is an opportunity for people to have

72
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:38.840
<v Speaker 2>that help that they need.

73
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Now, Whitney, how can we go about making a donation

74
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:43.840

104
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:07.639
<v Speaker 1>as I call it, was. Your onboarding process was pretty cool.

105
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 1>I've lived in a lot of different communities over my life,

106
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.399
<v Speaker 1>and usually it was just so, you know, vanilla playing

107
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>everything else nothing. I come in here and it was

108
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 1>very warm, very inviting, smile.

109
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:22.680
<v Speaker 3>That was great.

110
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.639
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't seen that in years, And the process was

111
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.519
<v Speaker 1>explained so well, and even with a thing called an app,

112
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.639
<v Speaker 1>which I was new to at that time, there was

113
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:36.480
<v Speaker 1>a great deal of patience explaining.

114
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.720
<v Speaker 3>How that worked. And it was like, oh, well, this

115
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.439
<v Speaker 3>is pretty darn good. You know, feel kind of home here.

00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:14.199
<v Speaker 3>Meals is our main.

131
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Focus today, I was just in yesterday and there was

132
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 1>some fundraising sale and going on and it looked delicious.

133

136
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:27.720
<v Speaker 4>the door.

137
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

138
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.720
<v Speaker 2>One of the things that's happening we're actually wrapping up

139
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.279
<v Speaker 2>today is our Silent Back the Basket auction that's happened

140
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.519
<v Speaker 2>over our east side location on Adam's Boulevard.

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:40.000

00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the way there, just a little bit ahead of time

154
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:14.160
<v Speaker 1>so that no plate goes empty.

155
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and you know, we'd love to be able to

156
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:19.800
<v Speaker 2>write the biggest check we've ever written to Mary Martha

157
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:21.319
<v Speaker 2>this year in twenty twenty five.

158
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Our invest is a successful business in many ways. Forbes

159
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.920
<v Speaker 1>recognizes our best every year, sometimes on two or three,

160
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>sometimes even four different lists.

161
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.000
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing, really proud of the work that we do.

162
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:36.680
<v Speaker 2>But not only are we proud of the work we're doing,

163
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:38.920

00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:40.079
<v Speaker 4>We have great.

165
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.040
<v Speaker 2>People and one of the things. From time to time,

166
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.439
<v Speaker 2>our associates rank us one of the best.

167
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.319
<v Speaker 4>Places to work and what I was thinking about.

168
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:51.399
<v Speaker 2>And here in Oklahoma, and so we're very very proud

169
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.920
<v Speaker 2>of that recognition. But we're also just extremely proud that

170
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.279
<v Speaker 2>we have great people who are just as committed as

171
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>the organization. They see the vision that our organization has

172
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:06.279
<v Speaker 2>to really be that community leader and that service provider,

173
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:10.600
<v Speaker 2>and so they really live out the mission every single day.

174
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:15.639
<v Speaker 1>Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. So the website once again for folks

175
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.720
<v Speaker 1>who aren't familiar, let's get them acquainted with that so

176
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:20.319
<v Speaker 1>they can read up on Million Meals.

177
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:23.480
<v Speaker 4>Sure, it's our vest dot com forward slash million Meals.

178
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.800
<v Speaker 3>That's it. That's it simple. I can even do that,

179
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.040
<v Speaker 3>of course. Yeah, and of course, and if you're.

180
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Not computer savvy, just just dropped by one of the

181
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:36.120
<v Speaker 1>branch locations and they will happily explain to you how

182
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:37.639
<v Speaker 1>it works and how you can help.

183
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.519
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely. I also don't want to miss that.

184
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:42.919
<v Speaker 2>You know, in no Wada we're also raising money and

185
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.720
<v Speaker 2>No Wada, if you're from Nowada, that is a different

186
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.759
<v Speaker 2>food partner. In Nowada County, it is Fishes and Loaves,

187
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:52.519
<v Speaker 2>and they're a food pantry that does.

188
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:53.120
<v Speaker 4>A great job.

189
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.519
<v Speaker 2>And so if you make a donation and No Wada,

190
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:59.519
<v Speaker 2>all of that money will go to that local food pantry.

191
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:02.519
<v Speaker 1>And you can't miss the Arvest branch in No Water.

192
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:04.399
<v Speaker 1>It takes up pretty much a city block.

193
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:05.039
<v Speaker 4>It does.

194
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.679
<v Speaker 2>It does, and there's great people that work there and

195
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:08.519
<v Speaker 2>they would love.

196
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.519
<v Speaker 4>To meet you and get to know you and see

197
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:12.320
<v Speaker 4>how they can help.

198
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.039
<v Speaker 1>And so if you're in Nowada County and you want

199
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:17.759
<v Speaker 1>to know where our vest is, just go into downtown

200
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>know Wada. You will see the sign. It's almost as

201
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:24.639
<v Speaker 1>big as life. Yes, you can't miss it. If you do,

202
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.360
<v Speaker 1>you need to see somebody about prescription glasses. But this

203
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:30.879
<v Speaker 1>is great so you can help out No Water in

204
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.840
<v Speaker 1>your community. Also in Bartlesfield Dewey we help Mary Martha

205
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's a great way to take care of home

206
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:39.360
<v Speaker 1>base and take care of people who might be falling

207
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.519
<v Speaker 1>through the cracks. And like you said, this is something

208
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.759
<v Speaker 1>that not everybody is aware of. With Oklahoma being what

209
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.399
<v Speaker 1>fifth in food insecurity.

210
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:51.519
<v Speaker 2>It's in the nation and about over fifteen percent of

211
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.720
<v Speaker 2>folks are concerned about where their next meal is coming.

212
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.200
<v Speaker 2>And so we want to again we just we don't

213
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:00.679
<v Speaker 2>want people to have to struggle through that that stress

214
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:04.440
<v Speaker 2>in their life. And so and I know Mary or

215
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I know Mary, Martha and Misty and her team don't

216
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:10.720
<v Speaker 2>want that same worry for people that they know exactly

217
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:12.159
<v Speaker 2>where they can get help.

218
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I want to make an appeal to the pretty much

219
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:18.360
<v Speaker 1>anybody who's listening right now. You might have had a

220
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:21.480
<v Speaker 1>tough day in your life where you weren't too sure

221
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:23.519
<v Speaker 1>if you're going to have a meal or not.

222
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.639
<v Speaker 3>You might have had a rough week.

223
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:33.519
<v Speaker 1>Or a month, but can you imagine pretty much your

224
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:38.360
<v Speaker 1>current state extending for long periods like that now. I

225
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:40.759
<v Speaker 1>want you just to imagine that one day, or that

226
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>one week, or that one month. Then imagine the people

227
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.639
<v Speaker 1>who are struggling now. If you're in a better spot

228
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:51.159
<v Speaker 1>than what you were back then I want to appeal

229
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:57.240
<v Speaker 1>to your conscious to make the decision to give to

230
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:04.679
<v Speaker 1>Megan Meals, because that is one way is say thank

231
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>you maker, I've made it a little bit, and then

232
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:10.759
<v Speaker 1>you can help your brothers and sisters along the way

233
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:14.360
<v Speaker 1>so that in time they can make it.

234
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:15.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

235
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:17.879
<v Speaker 2>I think one thing to know is if you're considering

236
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:20.000
<v Speaker 2>a donation, every little.

237
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:21.919
<v Speaker 3>Bit helps it does even a dollar.

238
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:24.039
<v Speaker 4>Correct, It doesn't have to be a large donation.

239
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.720
<v Speaker 2>We know that some folks are they're getting food on

240
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 2>the table, but maybe they're working paycheck to paycheck and

241
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:33.200
<v Speaker 2>right now it's a difficult time.

242
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:36.720
<v Speaker 1>And they're chasing everything while they're being chased by everything.

243
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.519
<v Speaker 2>So you know, I would just say that, you know,

244
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.799
<v Speaker 2>if you're considering giving, no donation is too small. We

245
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:48.159
<v Speaker 2>appreciate any time that you consider giving to the community

246
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:51.279
<v Speaker 2>and giving to Mary Martha. And so whether it's just

247
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:53.879
<v Speaker 2>a few cents or whether it's a fifty dollars check,

248
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.639
<v Speaker 2>anything is important, and we just want to say thank

249
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.240
<v Speaker 2>you so much for considering giving the today and even

250
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:02.480
<v Speaker 2>in the future to million miles.

251
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:05.559
<v Speaker 1>Alrighty, hey Whitney, it's always a player. You got to

252
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:06.840
<v Speaker 1>come back and visit us here again.

253
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I am one more time, and hopefully I all have

254
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:11.159
<v Speaker 2>a great update that says, because I think it's in

255
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:14.320
<v Speaker 2>the next few weeks, hopefully we'll have an update that

256
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:17.039
<v Speaker 2>says we're really close to that goal and we're going

257
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:18.120
<v Speaker 2>to meet it or exceed it.

258
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:18.960
<v Speaker 4>I hope.
