Even the smallest act of support can make a lasting difference.
5 Ways to Help
It takes a connected and supportive community to help children thrive. When communities work together, children and youth are more likely to receive the guidance, opportunities, and resources they need to succeed.
So far in 2026, we have indirectly supported over 1,500 kids and directly supported over 100 kids in Oshkosh. We could not have done that without the support from our generous community.
OKF is always looking for support with administrative tasks or events! Reach out to info@oshkoshkids.org for more information or fill out our volunteer interest form- https://forms.donorsnap.com/form?id=437c9897-66d0-4b3c-aea2-7f28cb443bc8 .
