Mission: “To provide basic needs assistance with dignity and compassion to our neighbors in need through a cooperative community effort.”

Broken Arrow Neighbors (BAN) is a comprehensive community resource center in the heart of the Rose District that provides basic needs emergency assistance to more than 28,000 financially disadvantaged people in the Broken Arrow and Coweta areas. BAN was created in 1983 through a group of local church congregations who recognized there was a need to feed the hungry in our community.

We recognize that each individual or family represents a unique set of circumstances. We structure our services to help each client we serve regain, or maintain their desired level of self-sufficiency.

Our staff and volunteers, along with many incredible community partners and donors, focus our efforts to ensure that BAN continues to provide food, financial assistance (limited), job mentorship and many other services to our neighbors in need through our mission of “assistance with dignity”.
