United Way Week is using its 2026 fundraising campaign to shine a light on nonprofit partners that strengthen our communities. One of the featured agencies is the Oklahoma Foundation for the Disabled, a long‑standing organization dedicated to providing adult day health services for individuals with developmental needs in central Oklahoma.
What the foundation offers
The foundation operates an activity‑oriented adult day health program that combines therapeutic activities, skilled nursing care, and social interaction. Participants receive personalized support designed to promote independence, improve quality of life, and give families a trusted daytime resource.
Why United Way is highlighting the program
United Way’s annual campaign emphasizes the impact of local nonprofits that address critical gaps in services. By featuring the Oklahoma Foundation for the Disabled, United Way aims to raise awareness of the essential role adult day health programs play in supporting families, reducing caregiver strain, and fostering community inclusion for adults with specialized developmental needs.
Community response
Local leaders and volunteers have praised the foundation’s work. “Their program gives families peace of mind while offering meaningful engagement for adults who need it most,” said a longtime United Way volunteer. The foundation also collaborates with regional health providers, schools, and faith‑based groups to ensure a network of support that aligns with family values and Christian principles of service.
How you can help
United Way Week encourages residents to contribute through donations, volunteer hours, or by spreading the word about the foundation’s services. Contributions directly support staffing, equipment, and program enhancements that keep the adult day health center operating at a high standard.
Looking ahead
The Oklahoma Foundation for the Disabled plans to expand its program capacity in the coming year, aiming to serve more adults across the state while maintaining the personalized care that has become its hallmark. United Way’s continued partnership will be instrumental in achieving these growth goals.
