Eastside OKC church and credit union open new food pantry
November 12, 2023 — A collaboration between New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in OKC and True Sky Credit Union is taking root in Oklahoma City’s Eastside. The opening of a food pantry operation Monday in the community room of the new True Sky Credit Union branch at NE 23rd and Missouri is led by New Bethel members with True Sky employees also volunteering.
In one of the most unusual collaborations for a credit union, New Bethel is leasing the land for the entire branch for 75 years to True Sky for a dollar. True Sky built the building and is leasing the large, fully-equipped community room to the church for over 75 years for a dollar. Free Press has covered the development of the project from the beginning.
