OKLAHOMA CITY â More than 200 youth in the custody of the Office of Juvenile Affairs are being remembered by Santa Claus this year.
OJA staff members are working with the Santa Claus Commission to make sure the youth spending Christmas in the 12 group homes across the state that have contracts with OJA and the agencyâs two secure-care treatment facilities are remembered during the holiday season.
The gifts will be distributed to 155 youth in community-level placements and 65 in OJAâs secure-care centers in Tecumseh and Manitou.
OJA staff wrapped gifts for the youth and are now delivering them. The gifts were purchased with funds provided by the commission, which was formed in 1937.
