The Giving Tent began in August 2025 in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma as a simple idea with a big heart—one small greenhouse in my front yard filled with food, clothing, hygiene items, toys, and other essentials for anyone who needed support, no questions asked. What started as a single space built on kindness quickly grew because my community showed just how much generosity can multiply.

As the project has grown, so has it's reach. I’ve partnered with other community members to help keep additional free pantries filled throughout the Tulsa area.

 

To continue expanding this work and to serve even more neighbors, I am actively fundraising to establish The Giving Tent as an official nonprofit organization. Becoming a nonprofit will allow me to open more locations, build stronger networks of support, and create sustainable systems of giving for years to come. You can donate to this Here.

 

The Giving Tent exists to make kindness accessible, resources available, and community stronger—one tent at a time.
