At Infant Crisis Services….
Infant Crisis Services (ICS) provides life sustaining formula, food and diapers to babies and toddlers in times of crisis, and like ICS, OCAPL believes that no baby should go hungry…ever.
Although designated as a benefactor of the annual OCAPL Christmas Raffle, our membership wanted to do more for ICS. So, we did just that…bright and (a little too) early we gathered to sort and size baby clothes, stock shelves with food, formula, and diaper packs, assist ICS clients, and play with those sweet babies.
Several OCAPL members, your colleagues and friends, gave their time, energy, and, yes, a Saturday morning to support this deserving program. With the help of another volunteer group, our very own Landmen assembled 2,574 backpack kits! In assembly line style, we sorted, weighed, sealed, and boxed the equivalent 6,600 meals, for Oklahoma’s hungry little ones!!!
A special thanks to JACKFORK LAND, INC. who catered an awesome lunch for all the OCAPL volunteers. After three hours of labor, it was much needed and very appreciated!
