Residents at Taylor Ridge apartments received a special gift today, thanks to our friends at Saxum. As part of United Way of Central Oklahomaā€™s annual Day of Caring, volunteers built, installed, and stocked a Little Free Library with books for teens, adults, seniors. This will be a much-used resource for tenants and the surrounding community.

Thank you, Saxum, and United Way of Central Oklahoma, for supporting our neighbors in such a meaningful and creative way!

Halloween brought some friendly competition to our Tulsa and OKC offices last week! Between costume contests, chili cook-offs and plenty of laughs, our teams found a fun way to celebrate the season while supporting the Tulsa Area United Way and United Way of Central Oklahoma.

Itā€™s always great to see our teams get creative and come together to make a difference! šŸŽƒ

Oklahomaā€™s mental health and substance use providers are facing steep funding cutsā€”just as demand for care is at an all-time high.

Our state ranks among the highest in mental illness, yet among the lowest in access to care. Too often, itā€™s Oklahomaā€™s children who pay the price.

State legislators donā€™t just write our lawsā€”they decide how your tax dollars are spent. That makes your voice essential in ensuring mental health remains a priority in the next session.

Reach out to your legislators and ask them to protect funding for mental health providers and secure long-term funding for the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline

Together, we can make sure every Oklahoman has access to the care they need to live healthy, hopeful lives.

With SNAP benefits paused during the government shutdown, many Oklahomans are wondering how theyā€™ll put food on the table.

Weā€™ve added a new list of local food pantries to our website to help connect families with nearby options for groceries and meals. If you or someone you know needs support, these community resources can help bridge the gap.

The ongoing government shutdown is taking a toll on Oklahomansā€™ mental health. Missed paychecks and the pause on SNAP benefits are leaving many families under intense stress, especially those already struggling to make ends meet.

MHAOK CEO Carrie Blumert spoke with KFOR-TV about how that pressure can lead to relapse and hopelessness, particularly as funding cuts reduce available support.

ā€œIt can feel like thereā€™s no way out, but there is. Help is out there.ā€

This Saturday, nearly 700,000 Oklahomans could lose access to food assistance as SNAP benefits end during the government shutdown.

Governor Stitt has the power ā€” and the $1 billion Rainy Day Fund ā€” to prevent a hunger crisis. But so far, heā€™s chosen not to act.

We canā€™t stay silent while our neighbors go hungry. Contact your state legislators today and demand emergency action to release funds for food assistance.

Together, we can make sure no Oklahoman goes hungry.

At the closing ceremonies for the Loveā€™s campaign, President Shane Wharton joined MHAOK Board President Wendy Thompson, MHAOK CEO Carrie Blumert and United Way of Central Oklahoma CEO Rachel Holt as Loveā€™s employees celebrated their friendly competitions for a good cause.

Lawmakers, service providers and advocates recently met at the Oklahoma State Capitol to discuss one of our stateā€™s most urgent needs: safe and stable housing for everyone.

The message was clear. When people have housing and support, they can rebuild their lives and move forward. Punitive responses like arrests or forced treatment do not solve homelessness; they only push people further from help.

The discussion highlighted evidence that direct-to-housing programs work and save taxpayer dollars. With continued collaboration and sustained commitment, Oklahoma can keep building solutions rooted in compassion and long-term impact.

Oklahoma is at a crossroads. Our state faces a shortage of nearly 85,000 affordable rental homes for extremely low-income renters, and one of the highest eviction rates in the nation.

These two realities leave too many Oklahomans struggling to find and keep safe, stable housing.

But hereā€™s the thing: the policies that shape rentersā€™ lives arenā€™t made in Washington ā€” theyā€™re made right here in Oklahoma.

The next legislative session doesnā€™t begin until February, but lawmakers are deciding now which bills to author, sponsor, and support.

That means your voice matters now more than ever.

Reach out to your state legislators and ask them to back practical, common-sense solutions that keep Oklahomans housed, healthy, and hopeful.
