OAPSE In Service To Ohio Children

Our union’s school employees work every day to protect and nurture Ohio’s schoolchildren. For many kids, a kind word and a firm presence provide examples of that caring and guidance. It is also a reality that many children depend on the meals they receive at school for their nutritional and learning needs.

HELPING THE NEEDIEST

Every year, our union focuses special attention on kids in some of Ohio’s most challenged school districts through our OAPSE Making A Difference program. Under the leadership of OAPSE State Secretary Sheila Dawkins-Flinn, OMAD delivers take home meals and snacks for children whose nutritional needs are especially acute.

OMAD CONTINUES ITS WORK

OMAD has been changing Ohio schoolchildren’s lives for the better for more than a decade now. One school district is selected for special attention and our OAPSE State Officers, District Leaders and staff participate in distributing sacks of food to kids in their school cafeterias and gyms. “It is truly heartwarming and gratifying to see the excitement and joy that the kids feel when they receive the special attention they deserve.”, said Dawkins-Flinn. “We work hard to raise the money for this program, but we are repaid many times over when we see the little ones so happy to get these treats”. OMAD is a non-profit operation and can accept donations from individuals or OAPSE Locals and Districts for this worthy cause.
