IMPORTANT! A Word About Volunteering:
In light current health and safety concerns, we have temporarily suspended our Teen Volunteer Program. We understand many of you rely on OPL as your source for service hours and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We appreciate our Teen Volunteers and look forward to collaborating with you in the (hopefully near) future. Stay tuned for updates!
Thank You
Thank You to everyone who donated items to the Teen Department’s annual Hope Closet collection back in March. Your generosity is much appreciated! Unfortunately we were unable to participate due to the cancellation of the 2020 Hope Closet Prom Boutique. But rest assured! We are looking into options for 2021 and are saving your donations for that time. Please call us if you have questions.
