A Tulsa organization gets a 'big' donation. Sara Waggoner, Food Bank Executive Director: "The Donald W Reynolds Foundation has awarded us a grant totaling $9, 091,834."

That donation is going to the Community Food Bank. The grant will help pay for the construction of a new food distribution center which will have storage space three times larger than the current facility.

This will also allow the food bank to increase the amount of food it gives out from 9-million pounds of food currently, to as much as 20-million. The food bank feeds more than 50,000 families a week.

The new facility should open late next year.
