Very organized place but has very limited items. No ground beef, pork. Also, no milk, butter, oil, cheese, eggs.

lots of fresh veggies and fruits during summer, however it's mostly expired or almost so you better freeze it or eat asap. frozen selection is minimal, nothing vegetarian, just fish or chicken breasts or unappealing pork taco meat, but the frozen sausage patties are decent for breakfast egg sandwiches. the volunteers are hit or miss, some nice but some are awkward and not very friendly. the building is clean and organized. great easy location too, right on the always insanely busy Oklahoma. must show ID everytime and get a number and wait to be called. but it's a good system. orderly and easy to get what you need per the current offerings. I notice all kinda of folks here so it's definitely inclusive. my favorite thing was getting lots of free plants, so I've had a nice summer of watching my tomato plants and serrano pepper plants growing beautifully.

I absolutely love this place. This is a free place to play with your kids. They have clean and great toy for your kids of all ages. The people here are so nice. I highly recommend it.

The community center has lots of support for families. The family resource center has a open play and some targeted groups as well. It is not a huge place, but there is plenty for kids to do and it's easy to keep track of them. The coffee is hot in the morning, the snacks are stocked, and the staff is very helpful. The dad's group is a great place to chat and discover dad's with similar concerns.

Went there to the panty, haven't been to a pantry I'm 6+yrs. Very nice and welcoming. Had free plants (vegetables) that you could get & gave a bit of everything I remember in the past other pantries gave more canned foods than anything and then you wouldn't have meats or anything. Definitely recommend this place for any activities because everyone is so nice.
