Derrick Scobey, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, partnered with World Vision USA to distribute food boxes to Oklahoma City residents. His wife Angela Bush Scobey, formerly of Clearview, had the idea of distributing food boxes to Black towns. She contacted Cousin Shirley Nero to organize the towns to meet in Clearview every other Thursday for food boxes. A refrigerated semi-trailer truck arrives at 8:00 a.m. filled with no less than 1,200 to 2,400 boxes of milk, produce, and dairy products. Eight town representatives from eastern Oklahoma arrive with trailers or UHAULS to pick up their boxes to take back to their hometowns. This has been going on for over two months and the end of September, they will enter the Phase III which will add protein to the boxes.

Those towns participating are Boley, Clearview, Grayson, IXL, Lima, Rentiesville, Tallahassee, Vernon, and Weleetka.
