Food on the Move is one of my favorite nonprofits. They focus on transforming food deserts into…read morefood-secured areas through food distribution, educational programs, workforce development, health assessments, and innovative solutions. Taylor Hanson started it in 2014 after being inspired by U.N. Ambassador Edward J. Perkins (he oversaw the end of South Africa's apartheid government and the release of Nelson Mandela while serving as the US Ambassador to South Africa). They host mobile food events and foster the return of permanent grocery stores and healthy food systems. Their monthly Community Events bring together partners, health resources, and have a pay-as-you-can model for fresh produce and prepared meals. They make it fun by having local DJs, food trucks, art classes, and more. They also have community gardens and teach an afterschool program in schools focused on teaching innovative urban farming systems, like hydroponics. I'm super excited for them to build their Food Home, which will be a community space with a market, urban farm, and food hub. I learn so much about the importance of micro greens and sustainable food practices from them.

"you have never really LIVED until you have done something for someone who can never repay you" ----Mother Theresa My family and I are forever grateful to the great souls at this hospice house. Many thanks to the staff and the great folks that donate to the hospice house. Although, we haven't lost our loved one as of yet, one week at the hospice house and we feel so supported. Going through these tough days are easier by visits from priests (at least 3 times a week), food prepared daily, attentive staff, and all the comforts of home. I can not say thank you enough!!! My loved one feels better about transitioning knowing that prayer comes from 90 year old priests and deacons that have traveled as missionaries throughout the world (with more than 65-70 years of serving under their belt). I think my loved one is in good hands!

Tulsa Global Alliance is such an amazing nonprofit for people who enjoy different cultures and…read moreinternational experiences. In 1995, The City of Tulsa assigned TGA as the organization responsible for managing Tulsa's Sister City relationships, which promote trade, educational and cultural exchanges, tourism, dignitary visits, internships, sports and other projects. Tulsa has eight Sister Cities: Amiens, France; Beihai, China; Celle, Germany; Kaohsiung, Taiwan; San Luis Potosi, Mexico; Tiberias, Israel; Utsunomiya, Japan; and Zelenograd, Russia. Half of those have been going on for more than 25 years! Each of Tulsa's City Councilors acts as an honorary Ambassador. TGA also does an amazing job hosting international visitors by creating high quality and customized itineraries and programs. A variety of visitors includes professionals, young adults, and youth leaders from around the world. In 2018, more than 350 international visitors from 90 nations came to Tulsa. Tulsa is a popular destination for the U.S. State Department, U.S. Embassies, and the U.S. Library of Congress-sponsored international visitor partner organizations such as The International Visitor Leadership Program, The Youth Ambassador Program and Open World Programs. Each visit usually has a particular theme/purpose such as Global Energy Security, Contemporary Native American Governance in the U.S., and Women's Entrepreneurship. TGA advances citizen diplomacy through educational events, learning initiatives, and cultural events like World in a Box Day in August in partnership with the Tulsa Library. They also promote international trade and business. Anyone can become a part of TGA by attending any of their events throughout the year, hosting international visitors, participating in cultural exchanges, or becoming an official member. Memberships start at $25! They also have corporate memberships available starting at $750. There are many membership benefits such as registration discounts, networking opportunities, and calendar access. TGA used to be located at the University of Tulsa but they have recently moved to Oklahoma State University- Tulsa campus in the Main Hall.

Tulsa Girls Art School is so amazing! It is one of my favorite nonprofits. They are an afterschool…read morearts program that girls start to attend in third grade and continue to do so until their senior year of high school. Essentially, they provide continued support and wonderful programming throughout the span of 10 years of their lives. They not only provide the space, but also transportation, supplies and instruction. What is even cooler is that the students have many opportunities to sell the artwork they create throughout the years so they're also learning about finances, art show curation and public speaking. When a piece of artwork sells, they put 30% of its proceeds into the student's individual micro-savings account. Senior girls receive 100% of their sales. These earnings allow the girls to save money for art supplies, education materials or college. Finally, a great way to support them is by attending their annual gala, usually held at the end of October or beginning of November. It is by far the most creative fundraiser and it is always very fun. You will also have the opportunity to purchase amazing artwork.
