In 2018 Mission OKC rented a warehouse space to make and deliver 1100 hot meals a day to children living all over Oklahoma City. We also used the space to teach life skills like cooking, auto shop, welding, wood working and sewing.
In 2023 we moved out of our traditional church building and full-time into our warehouse, adding additional units to accommodate the 60-100 children we bus in for our three weekly services. We quickly outgrew the space and needed to choose between building a new building or expanding our current location that the kids seemed to love.
Surrounding the warehouse on about an acre of land, we were surrounding by mounds of concrete, dirt and trash piled up as much as twelve feet high. With permission from the owner to use the space if we cleaned it up, we began running five ton loads of trash in a trailer to the city dump. After three months, we have almost finished clearing the property.
The vision for Project Green space is to create a fenced backyard area behind our building. We will have a full-size basketball court, a community garden, fishing in the stocked pond, playground equipment and space for kids to run and play. We are so thankful for all the community support for this project and we look forward to inviting all of our partners to come and enjoy the space when it opens in September 2024.
Our kids love the Green Space
