We are a non-profit organization serving western Canadian County. With the help of our community (partners, volunteers and donors) we provide several programs for families with children.
The families we serve 1) live in our county and west of Banner Road and 2) have been approved by the Canadian County Community Action Agency.
Christmas Baskets
Our Christmas Baskets program has served families with children since 1999. We provide food, personal care items, blankets and toys for over 2000 people (including over 900 children) each year!
This program is made possible through community donations, the United Way of Canadian County, the Mary K Ashbrook Foundation, and our many wonderful volunteers who serve in all capacities of the program.
We know we are meeting the physical needs of these families. We believe that knowing the community cares about them also helps meet their psychological and emotional needs.
Families with Children
Summer Food Program
The Families with Children Summer Food Program began in 2012 and continues to grow every year. We provide kid-friendly food to hundreds of families with children during the summer.
Our partners in this program include The Lord’s Harvest, the United Way of Canadian County, the Mary K Ashbrook Foundation as well as numerous donors from our community. We also receive many generous grants to help us serve families and children.
School Supply Program
We have coordinated with the Canadian County Community Action Agency for several years to provide school supplies for children pre-k through 12th grade.
Each fall the local schools give us the lists of school supplies the children will need.
Without the School Supply Program, many children in our community would not have school supplies. We want to help these children have the best chance for success by making sure they have the supplies they need as they start their school year!
