Drunk driver smashed into our office 1/13/21. Now we need to rebuild. Everyone was ok. But we need to finish this Safe Route Challenge and keep our kids safe. Second let's work together to connect businesses, organizations, and schools with a Safe Route through Oakdale. Here is one proposed route. We can put Hawkeyes or four way stops like near Temple and K-zoo and Griggs and K-zoo. https://www.oakdaleneighbors.org/general-8

Hello Everyone, thanks for supporting Safe Route Challenge https://www.oakdaleneighbors.org/general-8 we raised $22,378 in Cash and Pledges. Good news! Our donor is continuing to match our donation into the new year. So if you want to still give or you would like to make another contribution you can still do that and get it matched. We still need $2620.

Every $1 raised for the “Safe Route Challenge,” a donor has agreed to match it 100% up to $25,000 to buy a van for the Learning Cafe` to use on the Oakdale Safe Route.
