Healthcare visits can be stressful, and we want our patients at OACAC Family Planning to feel comfortable from the moment they walk through the door. Thanks to our amazing volunteers from SMC Packaging Group, our Family Planning Clinic now feels calming, inviting, and serene. The refreshed space reflects the welcoming, compassionate experience we strive to provide every day.

We are thankful for these volunteers from Arvest Bank. Their efforts are proof that volunteer impact multiplies.

Volunteers cleaned and prepared tower gardens that will soon be producing fresh, local food at OACAC service locations. While their volunteer shift may be over, the benefits will continue for months as these gardens grow and provide produce to our neighbors.

Thank you to our volunteers for helping plant the seeds of lasting community impact. 🪴

A United Way Ozarks Region Day of Caring win! We can't thank these volunteers from U.S. Bank and Target enough! They brought their creativity, energy, and enthusiasm to help us kick off planning for the 2027 OACAC's MO Mac & Cheese Fest

Thank you for helping us get things rolling for the cheesiest festival around! As a bonus, they got to sample some of Mama G’s Kitchen_Lovely Creations award-winning mac and cheese for a little extra inspiration. 🧀🧀🧀

We appreciate your support and look forward to another amazing festival!
