Shoutout to our LEAD members for making a difference in our community! They recently rolled up their sleeves at Center for Children and Families, Inc. to bundle diapers and support families in need.

As this holiday season begins to ramp up, we kindly ask that you look into our Holiday Wishes campaign. This gifting program served over 350 children last year alone, and this year the need is just as great. If you, your business, or any other organization would like to participate and sponsor a child's wish list, visit: https://lnkd.in/eSngrTS We hope you join us in making this holiday season as special as it can be for the children in our community! #CCFINorman #BGCNorman #CCFIHolidayWishes

The opportunity to expand the Boys & Girls Club of Norman would not be possible without our partnership with the City of Norman. This space will be invaluable for teens as it will provide a safe space to work on cooking skills, work on homework, receive counseling in the counseling space, and enjoy the lounge area. To learn more about the future teen's center, read this press release tinyurl.com/City-of-Norman or this article in the Norman The Norman Transcript: https://lnkd.in/gZV_tsPC #CCFINorman #BGCNorman #EmpoweringYouth
