As the nation rallies to support the fight against the Pandemic, ITC Great Plains is providing disaster relief funding to support food charities in Kansas and Oklahoma. The relief effort is part of ITC’s $500,000 two-phase funding commitment to support relief agencies throughout its seven-state footprint. The first round of funding supports food banks, pantries and soup kitchens who have reported a significant increase in demand for their services at a time when many are struggling to secure the supplies and resources needed to survive the national COVID-19 crisis.
Kansas
Kansas Food Bank – Wichita, Kan.
Meals on Wheels of Eastern Kansas, Inc. – Topeka, Kan.
Oklahoma
Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma Southern Branch – Tulsa, Okla.
As part of its second round of funding, ITC Great Plains is committing funding to support disaster relief agencies that provide mental health and substance abuse support throughout its footprint.

High Plains Mental Health Center - Northwest Kansas
Oklahoma
