Your Space - Community Growth

11/03/2025

Tomorrow evening, Claremore Pride is hosting their monthly LGBTQ+ youth support group. This is a safe place provided by moms in the community to help teens meet and socialize with like minded individuals. They also provide refreshments and arts and crafts for those who attend! This is such a great outlet provided to our q***r kiddos, thank you!

Join us for a Youth Pride Support Group hosted by Claremore Pride, led by local youth leaders! This group meets on the first Tuesday of each month from October to December, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. It's a welcoming and affirming space where LGBTQ+ youth can connect, create, and just be themselves. Whether you want to make art, have a conversation, or simply relax in a safe and supportive environment, you're welcome here. Snacks and art supplies will be provided, just bring yourself!

Movement is movement! 💚

Every runner’s journey is filled with ups and downs moments of exhilaration, stumbles, doubts, and small victories. When you see this image, you might notice the misty road, the solitude, and a runner pushing through on her own path. But look closer: you’ll find the spirit of persistence and self-acceptance.

Running isn’t about perfection. It’s not always about speed, medals, or comparing yourself to anyone else. It’s about showing up for yourself on foggy mornings, on difficult days, when motivation is low or your legs feel heavy. The true accomplishment comes from moving forward, even one step at a time.

This image isn’t just for runners; it’s for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or hesitant to start. It’s easy to doubt yourself when progress seems slow or results aren’t immediate. But remember: every mile, no matter the pace, builds your strength. Every finish line you cross no matter how long it takes deserves celebration.

As a running community, let’s applaud every effort, not just the fast ones. Share your slow miles, your stories of perseverance. By embracing the journey at every pace, we inspire others to do the same, break free from self-judgment, and realize that a slow mile is always better than no mile.

Great thing to remember if you’re considering donating during these trying, unprecedented times! If you need a place to drop off donations, check out The Cranberry Merchant, The Farm Hippie and Claremore Pride’s community pantries! We are also accepting donations and will take them to the pantries or distribute for you!

We are here to help spread love and support to our community during these times!

Millions of people in the US will be cut off from food assistance starting next week, which includes upwards of 40 million children.

Some good suggestions here for those able to donate to pantries and food banks.

Here are some Rogers County resources for those facing food scarcity or shortages in the coming time. Also the The Cranberry Merchant and Claremore Pride at Meraki Wellness Studio also have food pantries set up for donation or to meet your needs!

Many families in our community are feeling the impact of the ongoing federal government shutdown, especially as it relates to SNAP. My office has received calls and messages from individuals who have shared they won’t be able to afford groceries next week..

We are working on strategic solutions at the state level to help ease the burden. But in the meantime, here are several local food pantries and assistance sites for Rogers County residents.

‼️At the same time, many of these organizations have reported that supplies are running low — so if you’re in a position to give, please consider donating food or funds to help.‼️

Let’s all show what Oklahoma values are truly about — stepping up for one another when it matters most. ❤️
