Yesterday, Claire from Gore Gambino's delivered 216 backpacks and several boxes of school supplies for Webbers Falls Students.

Jenny Jamison, Executive Director of Lake Area United Way, and Tammy Toombs, Community Relations Coordinator for OG&E, in cooperation with “Feed the Children,” organized a supply drive for Webbers Falls Teachers. Today the teachers visited Whitaker Warehouse in Muskogee, where the supplies were awaiting them on pallets. In less than thirty minutes the teachers had boxed and loaded all the supplies to take back to Webbers Falls Schools. We received ten cases of water and five boxes of copy paper as well. We deeply appreciate the efforts of all those involved in this amazing show of support for our staff. We also appreciate Karie Abel and her family for allowing the use of their warehouse. You are all good people doing good things. Thank you.
