OKDHS Director Howard Hendrick receives national honor Lifetime Achievement Award. 

 

 

 

Flux was a great success! We celebrated with youth from all over the state as we expanded our highschool graduation party for foster youth to include many counties outside the OKC metro area. 

Because of your generosity, the grads were provided with celebration T's, dinner, dancing and door prizes for each! 

Dr. Shropshire and Pastor Trevor Williams shared messages of encouragement and hope. Pastor Williams edified the youth on their accomplishment and ability to do the hard work to make a path for their futures. Dr. Shropshire affirmed that each of them will not be forgotten, that they are each etched into the hearts of foster families, caseworkers, judges, volunteers. 

Please pray specifically for our Oklahoma youth during this summer as they find their way in the world. 

  

 

We are excited to be a part of the annual Oklahoma County Foster Family Fun Day! We are partnering with LifeChurch.tv NorthWest, OKDHS and others to honor foster families by inviting them to a day at the Oklahoma City Zoo. We will provide a barbecue dinner, have face painting, family portraits, and more!

Did you know that there is a Shelter in Oklahoma City for teen mothers in foster care? They are taught to care for their babies 24/7 and learn the life and parenting skills needed to prevent the cycle of generational foster care.
