Donations still rolling in to SSCS

By Kirk McCracken

After the March 25 tornado decimated parts of

Sand Springs the community responded by donating food, money and time
to Sand Springs Community Services.
Nearly two months later,
donations are still pouring
in.
Recently Mike Cooper
from AT&T stopped by
and gave SSCS a $5,000
donation, presenting them
with a check. Cooper said
Senator Dan Newberry

was asked about where

AT&T could make a difference with a donation after
the tornado hit and Newberry told him to contact
SSCS for information about
helping those in need.
Cooper made the call and
showed up with $5,000.
It was a beautiful moment, said SSCS board
member
Mary
Ann
McGinty. It is such a blessing when a donor gets to
meet someone they are directly involved in helping.
Thank you, AT&T, Mike
Cooper, and Senator Dan
Newberry. We are so grateful for the continued sup-

port of our agency.

Sen. Newberry is no
stranger to SSCS. Last
month, he received a
tour of the facility and
ate lunch with a couple,
who has benefitted from
the agency. Newberry
listened while they told
him their story and he
was moved.
Due to the donations,
which have exceeded
$100,000,
SSCS
has
been able to help the
families affected by the
tornado and a lot of the
food and money is going out as quickly as it
comes in.
