Oklahoma Christmas connection


Oklahoma Christmas connection

The Christmas Connection

A local non-profit organization dedicated to serving low income families and senior citizens in central Oklahoma. The Christmas Connection provides a pleasant, welcoming atmosphere where clients are treated with dignity and respect and can shop for clothing, household items and basic necessities. The store is stocked and staffed by hundreds of caring volunteers. Celebrating our 30th Anniversary, The Christmas Connection started as a seasonal charitable organization and now provides year-round programs for school uniforms, fire and crisis relief and general assistance to the working poor of our community.
Our goal of linking those in need of receiving to those in need of giving is met each day as families are referred for services, needs are met and lives are changed in positive ways.








Capital Campaign UpdateWe have received a number of gifts in Phase II of our Capital Campaign and are moving even closer to full ownership of our new facility.  The new building has allowed expansion of our School Connections and Crisis Relief programs and our store hours.

Our sincere appreciation to
Tom & Judy Love of Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores
 for their generous pledge of $100,000 from The Love Family Fund.
