United Way of North Central Oklahoma was proud to attend the Okies Celebration at the Ponca City Refinery, where Tammy Hodges and Tara Goldman shared information about the local services, programs, and resources that are strengthening lives across our communities.

Every conversation was an opportunity to connect people with support, raise awareness of community needs, and demonstrate how partnerships create lasting impact. Together, we are helping families thrive, supporting education, promoting financial stability, and improving health outcomes throughout North Central Oklahoma.

Thank you to the Ponca City Refinery and everyone who stopped by to learn more about the work being done in our community.

United is the Way to a stronger, healthier, and more resilient North Central Oklahoma.

At United Way of North Central Oklahoma, we believe strong communities are built by organizations that show up year after year to serve others with compassion and hope.

Through the United Way Manering Grant, Harmony House will receive funding to help provide essential materials that support its programs and the individuals who rely on them.

For many years, Harmony House has been a place of encouragement, recovery, and support in Ponca City. Through its services and community presence, it has helped individuals facing difficult seasons find connection, stability, and hope for the future.

This funding will help ensure Harmony House can continue meeting program needs and providing a safe, supportive environment for those seeking help and healing.

When we invest in organizations like Harmony House, we invest in stronger families, healthier lives, and a more compassionate community.

This grant supports more than materials. It supports recovery, dignity, and hope. 💙

United is the way. 💙

Yesterday, our community came together in an incredible way for the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, collecting an amazing 12,613 pounds of food to help families facing food insecurity right here at home.

We are so thankful for the dedicated Scouts from Scouting America and the Girl Scouts who served at Walmart, Homeland, and the post office, giving their time, energy, and hearts to this effort.

Thank you to our generous community members, hardworking volunteers, letter carriers, and sponsors who made this day possible. Every bag donated represented hope, compassion, and neighbors helping neighbors.

While yesterday’s total was incredible, the monetary donations will make an even greater impact by helping provide additional meals and resources to families in need. Together, we are making a difference and showing the true power of community.

Thank you for standing united with us to fight hunger.

United Way of North Central Oklahoma Manering Grant funding is helping support Project Transformation’s Summer Day Program for local elementary students.

This impactful program focuses on enriching the mind, body, and spirit while helping children strengthen literacy and social skills during the summer months. Each morning, students spend time reading one on one with community volunteers, building confidence, connection, and a love for learning.

Afternoons are filled with activities that encourage teamwork, communication, and positive social development in a safe and supportive environment.

We are grateful to help support programs like this through Manering Grant funding as they invest in the growth, wellbeing, and future success of children in North Central Oklahoma.
