BBatesokc 03-05-2012, 07:20 PM I often see groups of that size at both the Regional Food Bank (indoors) and Habitat for Humanity (outside usually). HewenttoJared 03-06-2012, 06:15 AM Ok Regional Food Bank and OK Beautiful are the two we use most frequently for groups that size. Harvey Hudson 03-06-2012, 10:02 AM I would suggest calling Oklahoma County Commissioner Brian Maughan's office. They have a program designed to help students and recognize them upon graduation for their volunteer service. It allows the students to graduate with an honor chord and certificate. It is a great program....Students for SHiNE. 405.713.1502 is his office number. Ask for Myles... metro405 03-06-2012, 02:58 PM Thank you Mr Hudson thats another excellent idea!!!

We have some groups that go there and they really appreciate the help. With that many people, you could do a lot of good work!
