WHAT WE DO
This Is Us is a 100% volunteer-led nonprofit, with 97% of every donation going directly to the students we serve. We currently support students at McLain High School, with additional programs at Central and Rogers High Schools. Our efforts focus on three core programs:
Weekend Bags – Providing food support over weekends and extended breaks
Sports Nutrition – Fueling student-athletes before games
Mentorship - We build consistent, caring relationships with students through weekly visits.
Christmas Program – Delivering holiday gifts and essentials to students in need
WEEKEND & EXENDED BREAK BAGS
Because Hunger Doesn’t Take the Weekend Off.
Fueling Students. Bridging the Gap.
Each week, we hand out over 75 snack bags to students who need extra support over the weekend. But to us, it’s about more than just food—it’s about showing up.
These bags open the door to connection. We get the chance to check in, ask how they're doing, offer a smile, and share a hug. It’s in these small, consistent moments that students are reminded they are seen, valued, and not alone.
Join us in making a difference—one snack, one smile, and one meaningful connection at a time.
SPORTS NUTRITION
Fueling Athletes and Nourishing Futures.
Pre-Game Nutrition. Post-Game Impact.
No student-athlete should take the field, court, or track on an empty stomach. We provide pregame meals and snack buckets to ensure athletes have the fuel they need to perform at their best—nutritious, energizing food that powers effort, focus, and endurance.
But the impact goes far beyond the game.
When students receive meals, they’re able to fully participate. When they participate, they become part of something bigger—a team, a purpose, a community that counts on them. That sense of belonging drives them to keep showing up, stay eligible, and work for their grades. It’s a powerful cycle that starts with food… and can end with a cap and gown.
Because when students are fed, they’re fueled to compete, to connect, and ultimately—to graduate.
Christmas BLESSINGS
Each December, we get the incredible privilege of bringing Christmas cheer to the students at McLain High School—the same students we see every Friday during weekend bag distribution.
Thanks to the generosity of our amazing donors, we’re able to gift each student with a mix of fun and meaningful items, throw a festive holiday party, serve up their own personal pizza, play games, and capture memories with photos.
It’s more than a celebration—it’s a chance to remind these students that they’re seen, valued, and deeply loved during a season that can feel especially heavy for many.
Creating Joy. Meeting Needs. Making Memories.
At This Is Us, we want every student to feel seen, heard, and loved. That’s why, in addition to our weekly services, we go the extra mile to create lasting moments of joy.
For extended school breaks, we pack large food bags filled with essentials like bread, peanut butter and jelly, ramen, mac and cheese, fresh fruit, muffins, granola bars, and more—ensuring students have what they need when school is out.
And when it’s time to celebrate, we show up big—decorating locker rooms, making custom fat heads, and helping students feel special on senior night and beyond.
So grab your family, co-workers, or neighbors—and come serve with us in North Tulsa. Together, we’re meeting needs, lifting spirits, and building a community where every kid knows they matter.
