Oklahoma 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.

Oklahoma Christmas Tree Association

The Oklahoma Christmas Tree Association members grow fresh, real Christmas Trees on farms in Oklahoma. Plan a fun visit to one of our farms this year to select your own special Christmas Tree. Create oklahoma christmas tree association logo. Create oklahoma christmas tree association christmas seasons greetings.

Create Oklahoma Christmas Tree Association Christmas holly image. Farm grown, real Christmas trees bring the warmth and fresh scent of tradition into your home during the wonderful season of Christmas. Farm grown Christmas trees benefit our local and world environment by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen during the many years they are growing on our farms. After they provide weeks of enjoyment in your home, they may be recycled as mulch or will naturally decompose in a few years to return their nutrients to the earth.
