This week we have been focusing on United Way partner agencies, and what they contribute the Southwest Oklahoma's Way of Life, and how your donations to United Way are imperative to their survival and causes.
Here s a great opportunity to help those children who have been identified for free or reduced lunches have snacks on the weekend.
This project idea is the brain child of a child herself. Markaila McCarkle chose this as her project for Jr. Teen Oklahoma Regency International Pageant. Her idea was to help reduce weekend hunger.
Markaila and her mother, Lawton City Councilwoman Onreka Johnson submitted a grant for 200 backpacks and was approved! Now they are looking for snacks to fill these backpacks. Their hope is that they can continue this project throughout the Summer at least two weekends a month.
