Non-Profit of the Month: City Care OKC

Inspire. Empower. Create change.

“City Care OKC inspires those willing to look social injustice and extreme poverty in the face, and empowers them to do whatever it takes to create change.” -City Care OKC

By working with the sense of compassion, love and community; City Care OKC does the work of providing food, relief and shelter for those within the metro. The organization was founded after a few friends did the right thing and began providing breakfast to those who were homeless within their neighborhoods. By experiencing the service and transformation within these acts of helping, they wanted to begin their mission to help people restore their lives, give back and provide accessible help.

Night Shelter

In the spring of 2021, City Care OKC opened their new Night Shelter. This is Oklahoma City’s only low-barrier night time shelter. It is available to all people and pets to have a safe and restful place to sleep, while becoming familiar with the transformational services provided by the organization that may help one get back onto their feet and in stable shelter. The shelter includes 140 beds and is at capacity on most nights.
