Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS)

FCS is committed to supporting the health and well-being of all Oklahomans. The Food Resource Hub brings together tools, programs, and community resources designed to improve access to nutritious foods for individuals and families across the state.

Through this hub, OSU Extension aims to connect community members with practical nutrition education, local food assistance programs, and resources that empower individuals to make informed, healthy choices. Our goal is to help ensure that every Oklahoman has the opportunity to thrive.
