A Permanent Home

In Permanent Home

Through a partnership with the City of El Reno, we have a 99 year lease of the former “old pool house.” We appreciate this important partnership!

We are excited to get started on the renovations so we can move into our new permanent home. Then we will pursue our dream of eventually building a warehouse directly behind our new facility.

You can help us with our Capital Campaign through your one time, monthly, quarterly or annual donation. You can also donate in honor of someone special for a birthday, holiday or memorial.
