Since 1994, Project CARE has helped thousands of local families through difficult times. The program provides emergency relief for those experiencing temporary financial hardships to keep their lights on and water flowing when they need it most.
Project CARE is made possible through the generosity of OUC employees and customers. Working together, we can make a positive difference for our neighbors in our community.
