OKCS participates in a number of community service projects throughout the year that help our students, in age appropriate ways, to learn to see needs and take action.
Some highlights of our yearly projects are:
- Christmas and Easter dinner food drive for The Hope Center
- Christmas stocking collection for needy children
- Pennies for Leukemia
- Coin drive for earthquake relief in Haiti
- ‘Bags and Prayers’ toiletries for the Bakersfield Rescue Mission
- Stocking shelves and food at The Hope Center
Our classes are encouraged to participate in service opportunities as they see needs arise in the community and the world.
Some of those project highlights are:
- Purchasing a goat farm to be ‘planted’ in Haiti
- Selling hot chocolate to purchase animals for families in Africa
- Valentines for the Bakersfield Rescue Mission
