It has been a year since we have posted on this page. Unfortunately, since the diagnosis of my (Audrey White) son’s cancer, that has taken my full attention and I haven’t been able to do anything with our awesome kids at Ouachita Children, Youth, & Family Services. I miss them terribly. They are always on my heart. Our organization was being run by only two people and unfortunately we just couldn’t keep up this year. We plan on making a return as soon as we can.

However, YOU can still help!! Please take a look to see if there is anything you can sign up to donate! It isn’t much but means so much to these kids.

Volunteers needed! We need your help providing fun experiences to those we serve! Please review the available slots through this link and click to sign up! At any given time, our shelters may have up to 20+ residents. We will contact you the week of your selected date to provide the number of residents at that time. You are welcome to sign up for as many weeks as you would like! Volunteer Sign Up Link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040c4ea8aa29a4fc1-ocyfs #/

The OCYFS team is so appreciative of the support from our amazing community!!

IT’S FEEL GOOD FRIDAY!!! Christmas edition 🎁🎄🎅🏼❄️

Gefer Sims at The Warehouse let us host a great dinner and gift giving for the awesome kids at Ouachita Children's Center, Inc. this week!

In true Gift To Gift fashion, after dinner the kids worked on some beautiful Christmas bags for the dementia patients over at Belvedere Nursing & Rehabilitation and then rewarded with their own gifts 🎁

The kids really got into it!! They each wrote letters to the patients letting them know they were special and being thought of this Christmas. Some kids took up the entire card to write something thoughtful. I love watching these kids enjoying giving back 🥰

Thank you to all the businesses and individuals who donate to us throughout the year and at our event! You make all of this possible 🙏🏼

We are scheduling out our year full of events and mentoring so if you or your business would like to get involved please contact Audrey White to get something on the books!
