The Oakwood Home for women has been in existence since 1974. Counted among its hundreds of alumnae are women who are performing useful services to our community through their current employment and through volunteering their services in this and other community programs. The home receives no money from state, federal or local governments. It is supported strictly from private donations from businesses, banks, churches and individuals. There is a nominal fee for room and board to those who are able to pay. However, no person needing help is turned away due to inability to pay. Oakwood will depend upon continued community-wide aid for its success.
The Oakwood Home for Women is a non-profit organization that runs on donations. Every dollar helps women fight alcohol and drug addiction.
