As the need for food and other social services has skyrocketed during the pandemic, Catholic Charities continues to provide greater access to food across Eastern Oklahoma. On Thursday, May 20th, Catholic Charities’ ninth location opened on Main Street in the town of Wilburton, Oklahoma, in Latimer County. This outreach center will initially provide food only but will add limited financial assistance beginning in July 2021. They will be open on Thursdays from 10 am to 2 pm to start. On Friday, May 21st, Bishop David Konderla was joined by Rev. Hrudaya Raj Gade from Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Wilburton and multiple staff members from Catholic Charities in Tulsa for a blessing and dedication of the new building. Catholic Charities Wilburton is the eighth outreach location for Catholic Charities of Eastern Oklahoma. In addition to the main Tulsa campus, outreach offices are located in Bartlesville, Broken Arrow, McAlester, Muskogee, Poteau, Sallisaw, Stillwater, and Wilburton. Catholic Charities one day hopes to provide services in all 31 Eastern Oklahoma counties...we are almost there with 29 counties!

Catholic Charities Helping Center can provide help to those in need
Sequoyah County Times - August 3, 2022 - What at one time may have been an en­joyable endeavor has oftentimes become a dreaded venture of necessity in today's stressful economic times. For instance, a trip to the neighborhood grocery store these days - once an oppor­tunity to fill a shopping cart with a wide va­riety of items to provide nutritional meals as a labor of love for the family- is a cruel re­minder of how far a dollar no longer stretch­es.
