Join supporters from across northeastern Oklahoma! Volunteer at our Skiatook thrift store, make tax-deductible donations, or shop second-hand to support emergency assistance programs for families in Skiatook, Sperry, and Avant.
Ways to Support Our Mission
Volunteer
Join our team and directly impact lives in your community. From sorting donations to helping customers, every hour matters.
- Sorting donations
- Store operations
- Auction prep

Donate Money
Your financial contribution is the fastest and most flexible way to help a family in crisis. While our thrift store covers our operational costs, monetary donations go directly into our assistance funds. This allows us to immediately say "yes" when a family needs help paying an electric bill to keep the heat on or requires emergency food supplies. As a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, your donation is tax-deductible. Consider becoming one of our valued local supporters today.
- Emergency utility assistance
- Food pantry supplies
- Medical emergency aid
- Educational scholarships
- Operational expenses
Shop & Support
