Volunteer with the Friends for OCCF

To celebrate their 50th Anniversary, the Oklahoma City Community Foundation (OCCF) will be hosting a musical swings exhibit September 20 to October 13 at Bicentennial Park located near the Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library. In order to ensure the swings are always working and being equitably enjoyed by all who visit, OCCF reached out to local nonprofits like the Friends of the Library for help in providing volunteers. As a reward, OCCF will make a grant to the Friends for their help.
