Owasso CARES started just 3 years ago and to see the level of volunteer participation (900 volunteers in 7 events) and the impact this program has had in 28 Owasso neighborhoods is AMAZING.
Thanks to all Volunteers that have participated in the Day of Service events over the last three years to help us build this successful program.
Plan now for you or your group to join the Volunteer Leadership Team and be part of this award winning program for the Spring 2014 Day of Service scheduled for Saturday, April 26th.
We are all in this effort together to keep Owasso as an attractive community and we need support from everyone. For questions about the next Day of Service or to register you and your group as volunteers, please contact Owasso’s Neighborhood Coordinator Jerry Fowler.
