Governor Kevin Stitt, along with agency heads and members of the faith-based and non-profit communities, announced the creation of the Oklahoma Office of Faith-Based and Community Inititiatives.
The office will act as a resource for faith-based and non-profit entities that wish to engage with Oklahoma Human Services to address needs of Oklahomans. One of the goals is to create a repository of state agency programs where the organizations can help. The Be A Neighbor program will be highly featured as part of the effort.
“As the son of a pastor, I know the heart of our state is in our families and places of worship. The Office of Faith Based Initiatives will house all of Oklahoma’s family and faith-based initiatives, and act as a one-stop-shop for those who need an extra hand. This is not some new government program, this is going to be an opportunity to bring people together, where neighbors can walk with neighbors and change lives,” said Stitt.
The website for the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives can be found here.
