The Charles Oakley Foundation, and its ‘Oak Out Hunger’ initiative provides access to nutritious meals and essential support services for individuals and families in underserved communities.
“Growing up, I always had people giving me meals when my mother or family wasn’t around, I always had a chance to eat and that was a blessing and some people don’t have that.” – Charles Oakley, Founder, Charles Oakley Foundation
Recognizing the significant impact of food insecurity on our community, the Charles Oakley Foundation was established to provide vital support and resources to those in need. Through our “Oak Out Hunger” initiative, launched in 2021 we work with communities to provide meals and break the cycles of hunger and poverty, empowering individuals and families to thrive.

Ensures that everyone has access to nutritious food while maintaining their self-respect, autonomy, and sense of belonging within their community.
Providing access to food is a fundamental step towards building a stronger and healthier community. We aim to work tirelessly to ensure that our community members have the food they need to thrive.

Through the ‘Oak Out Hunger’ initiative, the foundation set a goal of feeding 10,000 meals across America.
