Working in conjunction with The Salvation Army, Impact Ardmore helped a gentleman named Michael secure a bus ticket to another state yesterday. Previously living on the streets of Ardmore, Michael has struggled with alcohol for years and has moved in and out of local sober living houses.
He has a sister in another state who has offered him work on the family ranch once he completes treatment at a local rescue mission. One of our volunteers ensured he made it to the bus, sharing a brief conversation and prayer with him before his departure. Michael expressed that he felt this was his best chance at sobriety. He even shared that the liquor store he frequented would often provide him with alcohol on credit.
This is a win-win situation, and we are incredibly thankful for our partnerships with organizations like The Salvation Army. If you would like to volunteer and be part of the solution, please call 580-504-4335.

This is why Impact Ardmore is trying to get an anti-bullying campaign in our local schools!

BREAKING: Drayke Hardman was a 12-year-old boy who believed kindness could change everything. He didn’t just want to play with others; he tried to befriend his own bullies, hoping for acceptance instead of conflict. But after a relentless year of torment that left him with both a physical and emotional "black eye," the weight of the cruelty became too much to bear.

In a tragedy that has shattered his Utah community, Drayke’s life ended far too soon, leaving his family to turn their unimaginable grief into a global mission. His story is a devastating reminder that bullying is not just a "phase"—it is a lethal threat. Drayke’s heart was too big for the world he faced, but his legacy is now a call to action for every parent and teacher to choose empathy before another light is extinguished.

If there is such a thing as an unofficial liaison to the homeless community, that role would be filled by Phillip Capshaw in Ardmore.
