Volunteering for our community is one way that you can give back. This is an amazing way to contribute and give appreciation to the area in which you live. There are many not-for-profit organizations in Stillwate,r Oklahoma specifically that would appreciate any and all help! Here is a short list of some of my favorites.
1. Tiny Paws
Cat and kitten lovers rejoice! Tiny Paws is a nonprofit organization that saves orphaned kittens and heals them until they are ready to be adopted into homes. After the kittens are ready to be put up for adoption they are shown at the Stillwater Petco. I personally spend my volunteer hours at Tiny Paws and know they are always looking for people to spend time volunteering. There are several tasks required and the people that run the place are amazing. Donations of blankets and toys for kittens as well as various items are always needed as well! To get into contact with this organization you can call (405) 612-0071.
2. Stillwater Humane Society
Another animal loving not-for-profit organization that is always in need of volunteers is the Human Society Of Stillwater. They serve homeless dogs as well as cats and adopt them out to people looking to expand their families. They are a no kill shelter, which makes them amazing as well. They have many positions available with several tasks as well. They also accept any donations. You may call (405) 377-1701 to get into contact and sign up for volunteer hours as well as to gain any information on the organization.

4. Big Brothers Big Sisters
This organization takes place in various locations all over the world, but has a location that is local to the Stillwater area. Volunteering for this organization means helping young men and women thrive and learn. Spending quality time with the young men and young women would aid them in so many ways as well as being beneficial personally by gaining a friendship. This organization does require background information and will not allow for you to immediately begin because of this. It is however, worth the try and I encourage anyone to apply. The phone number for this organization is (405) 624-9922.
5. Wings Of Hope
This organization aids families who are victims of domestic abuse. They run fund-raisers and have various events to raise awareness and gain donations. They also need volunteers to aid with the various activities that they do. They also require a background check and training in order to volunteer. To get into contact with this organization you may call (405) 372-9922.
No matter which organization you choose to volunteer at, or the reason you are volunteering, these five organizations are my top picks for local nonprofits in Stillwater! Doing the research to find which place bests suits you is very important, and all of these establishments are more than willing to welcome you as well as donations with open arms.
