Ozark Opportunities Needs Fundraising Help

Ozark Opportunities seeks to help others, and they need help raising money to accomplish their mission.

Richard "Toby" Atkinson and Hilary Cleaver from Ozark Opportunities appeared on KHOZ's "Around The Table" to discuss the organization as well as share about an opportunity to help them out. "We need help with the family development program. We don't get near enough funds, and that's the program that actually breaks the cycle of poverty," Atkinson said.

He explained that it helps others find hope to accomplish goals like education. Cleaver directed people to the organization's website. The website allows people to make donations.

Cleaver also said that she and Atkinson are available at the organization phone number 870-741-2089. The group is also on Facebook and Instagram. The interview covered this and more.

The full interview with Cleaver and Atkinson is available on the "Around The Table" Facebook Page.
