Food On The Move is fighting food insecurity with its inaugural Movers and Shakers gala, an upscale celebration at the OKPOP Museum on Saturday, November 11.
Founded by Taylor Hanson, Food On The Move has been focused on ending food deserts in Oklahoma through access, education, and innovation.
With multiple Community Food and Resource festivals per month and innovative urban farming techniques, Food On The Move continues to expand its reach to Tulsans in need. Funds raised from this event will go directly towards food distribution, educational programs, workforce development, health assessments, and innovative solutions to combat hunger.
Movers and Shakers is Food On The Move’s first large-scale fundraising event since its founding in 2014. Attendees will spend the night celebrating the leaders and partner agencies fighting food insecurity in Tulsa. There will be prime dining, cocktails, and entertainment. Food On The Move’s founder and member of Hanson, Taylor Hanson, will be at a private after-party for select sponsors. The event is chaired by Arthur and Eninja Jackson and Jackie Price Johannsen and Alan Johannsen.
“Access to healthy food is critical to the success and well-being of our community. This event is a chance for Tulsans to come together and join us in the fight against hunger,” shared Chief Executive Officer of Food On The Move Kevin Harper.
Sponsorships and details about event tickets are available online. Each level includes tickets to the event and exclusive perks. Proceeds will benefit Food On The Move’s mission to transform food deserts and legacy issues created by living food-insecure in the Tulsa community.
