PassAlong The Possibility: Transforming Neighborhoods

Update on The Welcome Table Kitchen Garden Park Project

A Third Place Community Center in Turley and in Tulsa’s northern-edge

With University of Oklahoma Design Studio and Graduate Social Work Partners

Consider All This: We are in recession….Our public community centers have been closed down, especially in our lowest income areas... Our state is dead last as the healthiest state… And our 74126 zip code has the lowest life expectancy in our area... 40 percent of the vacant residential properties in our two mile radius have been abandoned… We live in a healthy food desert…A third in our area feel insecure about feeding themselves and their families with healthy food… The Tulsa Public Schools are ending the elementary science/nature classes in schools in our area even though our high school, McLain, has magnet science programs.

Because of, in spite of all this….We at A Third Place Community Center believe another way is possible…

Sustainable Community Development One Block at a Time. Taking a full block with 12 lots with abandoned houses and trash, in an area overlooking downtown Tulsa, bridging two ethnically diverse low income areas….Turning It into An Outdoor Center with Community Gardens, Community Kitchen, Community Classes and Meals, Family area. On an acre at 60th and N. Johnstown Ave.

We are raising from local residents and global citizens $15,000 needed to purchase the property to begin the transformation. WE CAN ONLY DO IT WITH YOU…We need 100 people from around the world to give at least an average $100 to match what we have raised (you can give more; you can give less; we want as many owners as possible). Donate in honor or memory of someone who cared.
