Agape Mission: Providing Hope and Hot Meals to Bartlesville Community
Tom Davis
Agape Mission feeds about 100 hungry people a day in Bartlesville. Founded on the Greek word "Agape," meaning God's unconditional love, this nonprofit organization is dedicated to serving hot, nutritious meals five days a week to those in need.
Sherry Smith with Agape Mission was on our COMMUNITY CONNECTION show on KWON and she shared the organization's impact on the local community. "We serve a hot meal Monday through Friday, providing not just nourishment but hope," she explained. With an ever-growing demand, Agape serves meals to 80–100 homeless individuals daily and assists over 600 children each week through its Food for Kids program, delivering weekend food sacks to 12 schools in Washington County.
While the mission primarily focuses on feeding programs, Sherry highlighted the hidden struggles of the community. "Many people have a roof over their heads but no utilities—no heat, no water, no working stove. A hot meal can be a lifeline," she said.
As the holiday season approaches, Sherry encourages the community to contribute. "If you don’t have a charity to support, we’d love to show you what we do. Whether it's a donation, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, every effort helps."
Donations can be made through their website, AgapeBartlesville.com, or by mailing checks to Agape Mission, P.O. Box 1085, Bartlesville, OK, 74005. Volunteers can also reach out to join this mission of compassion.
