PSO Distributes Free Light Bulbs to Oklahoma Food Pantries

TULSA, Okla. (December 5, 2025) - Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) is continuing its commitment to support communities it serves by distributing more than 30,000 LED light bulbs to 33 food pantries this year.

The Shine a Light Project partners with food banks and pantries across PSO's service area to provide light bulbs to families in need. By working alongside organizations already serving their communities, PSO helps ensure these bulbs reach the households that need them most.

Since 2014, PSO's Shine a Light Project has distributed over 1 million energy efficient light bulbs.

"Community partnerships are at the heart of what we do," said PSO President and Chief Operating Officer Leigh Anne Strahler. "Working alongside food pantries allows us to provide more than just light, it's about supporting families and strengthening the communities we serve."

The Shine a Light Project is available to food pantry clients, but any PSO customer can take advantage of rebates and instant discounts on many energy-efficient products. For more information visit PowerForwardWithPSO.com.
