As the holidays approached, Diagnostic Laboratory of Oklahoma (DLO) set an ambitious target to provide over 4,000 meals to those in need throughout the state. Partnering with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, the DLO team mobilized to tackle food insecurity during this vital season of giving.
DLO has long maintained a partnership with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, united by a shared vision of alleviating food insecurity and ensuring families can enjoy festive meals. Together, we have worked to create a positive impact in our community, emphasizing the importance of supporting those in need.
DLO employees passionately rallied around the cause, engaging in raising funds and collecting nonperishable food items. As the campaign progressed, DLO exceeded its goal, ultimately providing over 4,500 meals-demonstrating the power of collaboration and generosity. The meals included essentials for traditional holiday dinners, spreading joy to families across Oklahoma.
DLO employees felt truly incredible to contribute to such a significant initiative, embodying a common saying of ours that we are “Oklahomans Serving Oklahomans.” Many expressed a deepened sense of teamwork and camaraderie, united in our shared purpose. It’s a powerful reminder of how our efforts can positively impact the community we cherish.
Looking ahead…
The success of the fundraiser inspires DLO to commit long-term to addressing food insecurity in Oklahoma, with plans for future collaborations and community outreach. This season’s extraordinary efforts remind us of the importance of giving back, showing that collective action can indeed overcome challenges, one lab test at a time or one meal at a time.
