We are proud pet parents to Blakely and Tag, who were adopted from the Oklahoma Humane Society. Ally also fostered many puppies with her roommate Katie from 2017 to 2018. This organization holds a special place in our hearts, and we’re grateful for the joy our furry friends bring to our lives.

"The Oklahoma Humane Society was founded in 2007. We work in close partnership with Oklahoma City Animal Welfare (OKC Animal Shelter) and other local shelters. Our primary focus is to eliminate the needless euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals in Oklahoma City."

We always make it a point to buy a paper whenever we see someone selling. This is a meaningful initiative supported throughout OKC. If you happen to see a seller during your visit, papers are available for $2 cash, and you can purchase directly from your car window.

"The Curbside Chronicle is Oklahoma’s street paper created to provide both a voice and employment opportunities for people who are experiencing and at risk of homelessness. In addition to providing a source of income, the Curbside Chronicle works with vendors to break down barriers to traditional employment and develop time management, money management and social skills. Street papers like the Curbside Chronicle enable people to earn enough money to get into housing and end their homelessness."

We and our community strive to make anywhere we live a loving and safe place. Freedom Oklahoma is an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community at the legislative level in Oklahoma.

"Freedom Oklahoma advocates and organizes across Oklahoma and within the 39 sovereign tribal nations that call this land home to build a future where all Two Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and fuller spectrum of people whose sexuality or gender or romantic identity exists beyond a heteronormative, binary framework (2SLGBTQ+), have the safety to thrive. We believe that a critical step in creating collective, community-based safety is building power and engaging in advocacy for protections at every level of government."

Every school year, we partner with Anna's House Foundation to pack backpacks filled with school supplies for foster families. We have friends involved with this organization and have seen firsthand the impact it has. If you’re able, we invite you to consider making a donation to support their efforts!

"Anna's House Foundation is a faith-based organization whose mission is to provide immediate, stable and loving homes for Oklahoma's children in state custody. AHF desires to offer a future of hope and faith to foster children and foster families by providing housing, support, training, and resources in a Christian community setting. While biological parents work a court ordered plan, children are temporarily placed in a foster care home. The goal of foster care is for children to reunite with their parents."

With Oklahoma ranking as the 7th worst state for homeless children, we invite you to consider making a donation to support this important cause.

"As Oklahoma's only school and social services agency specifically for children and families experiencing homelessness, we give kids stability and a quality education while giving their parents the support they need to create a better life. Since 1989, we have filled our scrapbooks with countless success stories, but the need continues."

If you're looking to support more than OKC, Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit housing organization working in local communities across all 50 states and in more than 70 countries around the world.

"Habitat for Humanity partners with people in your community, and all over the world, to help them build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage."
