Skyline's Food Resource Center (FRC) is open to anyone who needs help with food. There are no geographic restrictions mentioned. First-time visitors need to bring a few documents (see the next section), and returning visitors need a photo ID.
First-time visitors must bring:
Returning visitors need to bring their photo ID each visit. Reviewers also mention that a current utility bill or piece of mail with your name and address is helpful to have ready.
You can receive food assistance once every 30 days.
The FRC works like a small grocery store where you choose the items you want. Selection can vary from visit to visit, so what's available one week may be different the next. Several reviewers suggest arriving early since popular items can run out. The pantry is bilingual, and instruction signs are available in multiple languages. After your visit, you'll receive a card with your registration number and your return date, which makes check-in faster next time.
The FRC uses a shopping model. Visitors walk through the store and pick out the food they want, much like going to a grocery store. The amount you can take is based on your household size. Staff and volunteers are on hand to help with the shopping process as needed.
Skyline offers a Mobile Pantry that travels to 15 locations across the OKC metro area. The mobile pantry distributes groceries, clothing, blankets, and personal care items like soap and toothpaste to neighbors who don't have a nearby store. Dates and locations vary, so check the Skyline calendar at okcskyline.org/calendar for the current schedule.
Beyond food, Skyline also provides:
Skyline has a Style Shop (clothing closet) on site where visitors can find clothes. Reviewers note that clothing is available for purchase (not free), while food is free. There is also a garden program on site.

You can also contribute to the Skyline Urban Ministry endowment fund through OCCF.
Skyline relies on over 1,000 volunteers. Volunteer roles include stocking and organizing the shopping area, sorting and unloading food deliveries, bagging groceries, assisting patrons as they shop, helping with eye clinic scheduling, receiving and processing donations for the Style Shop, and supporting the garden program. To sign up, visit the volunteer sign-up form or email volunteer@okcskyline.org. A Volunteer Handbook is also available.
