About Us
Iron Gate’s mission is simple. We feed the hungry and homeless of Tulsa - every day. We feed people in three ways: our soup kitchen, grocery pantry, and kid’s pack pantry. We call those who eat at Iron Gate our “guests” because we invite them to eat with us. Our philosophy is we are all guests on this earth and guests treat one another with courtesy, kindness, and respect. After 41 years in the basement of Trinity Episcopal Church, Iron Gate moved into a new facility in Downtown Tulsa in August of 2019.
Our Programs
Soup Kitchen
Iron Gate serves a daily community meal every day of the year, 8:30-10:30AM. This is open to the public. We are open every single day, including holidays, because hunger doesn’t take a vacation.
Kid’s Packs
The Kid’s Pantry distributes a quart-sized bag of kid-friendly, healthy snacks to every youth served by Iron Gate, either through the grocery pantry or during the meal. In 2022, we distributed 25,553 Kid’s Packs.
