An Apple Market customer Saturday saw the sign for OTEMS Paramedics’ “Stuff the Ambulance” holiday food drive and asked volunteers to watch his cart of groceries for a few minutes while he went back into the store. He returned with a bag full of canned goods to add to the growing collection in the ambulance. OTEMS works with the Oologah United Methodist Church Food Bank to “provide a little extra something for the holidays for those less fortunate than us,” OTEMS said.

Volunteers collected 562 pounds of canned and non-perishable food towards their 3,000-pound goal Friday-Sunday, said Shelbie Wayman, Oologah-Talala Emergency Medical Service (OTEMS) Community Liaison. This year’s goal has been boosted since last year’s target of 2,500 pounds was exceeded, she noted.
“This is all about providing a little extra something for the holidays for those less fortunate than us,” said Ryan Setzkorn, assistant OTEMS director.
Food will be distributed through the Community Food Bank at Oologah United Methodist Church, Wayman said.
Collections start at 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9 and 16 and noon on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 10-11 and 17-18 at Apple Market, just north of the four-way traffic light at Hwy. 88 and U.S. 169. Collections days will last until traffic tapers off.
Food collected will be distributed through the Food Bank of the Oologah United Methodist Church, near the south exit from US 169 to old Highway 169.
OTEMS volunteers will collect canned or non-perishable, non-expired food and will accept cash donations to fill gaps in needed products.
 Signs for the project were donated by Lisa Sharp, local graphic designer.
