Grand Opening April 10, 2026
Norman Cross Timbers Rotary Club members partnered with Assignment Hope, Boys & Girls Club of Norman, and the Center for Children and Families to complete Zena's Kitchen. The project was funded in part through a Rotary District 5770 Grant.
Expected to be fully operational on June 1, Zena's Kitchen will provide daily meals, cooking classes, academic support, and social-emotional learning, fostering a safe and enriching environment for vulnerable middle- and high-school students. The after-school haven is expected to serve approximately 40 enrolled students daily, with outreach programs extending to 200 youth annually.
It is located in the new Boys & Girls Club facility at Reaves Park in Norman.
Two of Norman’s outdoor pantries were refurbished and restocked by 10 members of the Norman Cross Timbers Rotary Club at the end of 2026 and into the 1Q of 2026.
Construction and painting supplies were funded through a community service grant from Rotary District 5770.
The pantries were originally established by the Red Dirt Collective and are located by Mr. Shortstop near Lindsey and SE 12th Street and on Vicksburg St, across from Irving Middle School.
The Collective regularly fills the pantries with groceries. Other food stuffs are donated by churches in the area, Rotary members, and individual citizens to keep the pantries stocked with nonperishable items.
The Rotary grant monies have been stretched by Cross Timbers to stock both pantries with a full grocery haul on several additional occasions, since the renovation was competed.
