Our Journey began with Night Light Tulsa in September of 2013. Many individuals stepped up and became a part of our efforts and the impact was huge. We quickly recognized the overwhelming need for more service in our community and in December of 2015 we were able to obtain our 501 (c) (3) non-profit status. This was the beginning of City Lights Foundation of Oklahoma.

ln 2013 a passionate calling was placed on our hearts to build relationships with those who are typically ignored and forgotten in society. Our desire was to step out of our comfort zones and build relationships with people who we might not normally associate with. 

By taking the time to learn someone’s name and listen to their story, we begin to know them more deeply and we are compelled to reconnect with our shared humanity. We desire relationships that impact others in a way that brings love, hope and dignity to everyone we encounter. We also want to create places where our children, friends, and families can easily serve with us. It is through this service and these relationships that nameless faces become friends and together we will start to rebuild our community. 

We are intentional in our efforts to be LIGHTS in in the darkness and to invite others to walk with us in this endeavor. We hope that you will join City Lights as we build relationships and restore our community.
