Mission Statement
City Center is a local outreach center geared toward bringing relief and restoration to families and at risk youth in poverty in Oklahoma City.
About This Cause
City Center operates out of an old 20,000 sq. Ft. building located in Warr Acres, Oklahoma. The center is positioned in the center of the Putnam City Schools District. 2,000 children in this district are considered homeless, and 1 in 4 children go to bed hungry at night. Families are either living under the poverty line or just above the poverty threshold, which can be more challenging because those right above the poverty line cannot receive the assistance like those who are below. We realized very quickly that before we could ever meet deeper, core level, needs, we had to meet the immediate need. Once we can meet immediate needs and establish relationships, we can then address the root issues and hopefully help break systemic and generational cycles. We accomplish this through monthly community block parties, recreational activities, and partnerships with other organizations within the community. We currently offer an after school and summer program for youth, relief for families with food insecurities, athletic mentorship programs, family crisis intervention programs, haircuts, and a clothing room — all free of charge.
