Oklahoma native Blake Shelton donated $150,000 to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma as part of ABC affiliate KOCO-TV 5’s Give From Home Fundraiser.

“A lot of Oklahomans are going to bed hungry tonight,” said Blake in a video clip via KOCO. “That’s not something that I can live with. That’s why I’m going to be donating to the Regional Food Bank, the Oklahoma Food Bank. I hope you will join me and help from home. Send in that donation because a lot of people out there are counting on us,”

The Give From Home Fundraiser, which raised $425,000, was created to feed Oklahomans hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
