Thank you so much to our friends at the Workhouse Art Center, for again putting together a toy drive in support of OAR. This is their second year organizing a toy drive so that the children of our clients can have an extra special Christmas holiday. Workhouse does a great job of lightening Santa's load! If you would like to donate to the drive, you can drop off gifts at the locations mentioned in the poster, any new and unwrapped toys are welcome. Thanks Workhouse!

Happy Veteran's Day! The OAR offices are closed today. A big thank you to our veterans! We are very fortunate and grateful to have veterans on the OAR staff, bringing their lived experience to support clients daily. A disproportionate number of veterans become involved with the justice system after duty and having staff who understand the unique challenges veterans face makes them an asset to our organization. Thank you for your service then and thank you for it now.

Pie there, friends! With the holiday season coming around, we have some office closures. Stay tuned though, because we'll be closing out 2024 with some really fun events, just crust us on this. Offices will be closed Monday, November 11th for Veterans Day as well as Thanksgiving break to include Thursday, November 28th and Friday, November 29th. #OARNOVA #reentry #communitysupport

Happy Native American Heritage Month! During November, we will be highlighting folks from the community who have moved criminal justice reform forward. Stay tuned! #OARNOVA #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #reentry
