CAMPAIGN
DATE: March 16, 2006
The Owasso Community Resources (OCR) has undergone a significant reorganization
and has further defined its mission for the community. OCR is a 5016, nonprofit
agency with a 10 year history of community service in Owasso. Their mission is to build
a strong community through youth and family counseling, community assistance and life
enrichment education. Funding for various programs is received through the Tulsa Area
United Way, FEMA, corporate and private donations. However, over the last few years,
United Way and FEMA funds have diminished and OCR will be launching a 2006 Spring
Resources Campaign in order to continue offering quality programs, as well as new
programs that address the pressures of a growing community.
The staff has participated in discussions of proposed changes within the organization and
has prepared Resolution No. 2006-13 for Council consideration. This resolution endorses
and supports the community efforts of OCR and the 2006 Spring Resources Campaign
and further promotes an organization that is responsive and dedicated to helping Owasso
residents overcome both short and long term crisis.
The staff recommends Council adoption of Resolution No. 2006 -13, a resolution of
endorsement and support for the Owasso Community Resource Center and their 2006
Spring Resources Campaign.
