Hungry Hearts Feeding Ministry is seeking donations for a mural that will be added to its outdoor garden space. Hungry Hearts is a nonprofit feeding ministry with a mission to "help put a stop to the pain of hunger." When it first started, Hungry Hearts would have pop up feedings in various areas of town. But now they have a permanent location on SW 11th Street in Lawton where they offer free meals to those in need.

Hungry Hearts Feeding Ministry founder, Adriene Davis, known in the community as Ms. Adriene, is an avid gardener and offers free gardening classes through the ministry. She also uses her talents to provide produce for the feeding ministry and to give away to people in need.
