This weekend, our leadership team at Making A Difference, Inc. had the incredible opportunity to attend the Global Leadership Summit and learn from world-class leaders like John Maxwell, Nick Saban, and Craig Groeschel.
We came away inspired, challenged, and ready to dream even bigger for the future of our community to further make a difference. 🙌

🌼 Spring Highlights from Making a Difference 🌼

Our team stayed busy this season, and we’re grateful for every chance to serve:

🍼Community Baby Shower
We teamed up with local partners to support expectant and new mothers—handing out diapers, wipes, books, and plenty of encouragement. Watching families leave a little lighter (and a lot better supplied) was a joy.

🌻Caregiver Wellness Screenings
Through our partnership with Sooner SUCCESS, we offered mental-health and stress-check stations at several caregiver gatherings. Caregivers give so much; providing space for them to breathe and recharge felt essential.

👶Child Abuse Prevention Month
In April, we sponsored the Wooden Children displays placed downtown, reminding us all that every child deserves a safe, nurturing environment. Your supportive messages helped amplify that mission.

We love all our partnerships in Enid, making a difference every day!

🚀✈️ Taking Flight with Creativity at Making A Difference! ✈️🚀

Yesterday in our Afterschool Aerospace Program, our students took a hands-on approach to history! With the help of 2nd Lt. Brodie Goss from Vance AFB, they designed and built paper-and-straw planes inspired by the Wright Brothers’ Kitty Hawk (Wright Flyer). 🛩️

After learning about the pioneers of flight, our students brought history to life by crafting their own versions—turning knowledge into an experimental planes just like the Wright Brothers! 💡✨

Call ahead to enroll for the Aerospace Program and join us at 4:00 next Tuesday to be apart of the fun! ✈️
