Our historic Ovalo Community Center needs a facelift! Did you know that our OCC building started out as officer quarters on Camp Barkeley in Abilene?

After that, it housed the Ovalo Extension Homemakers Club for 33 years, then for the last 40 years it has served as a place for our community to come together. Many families have hosted family reunions, wedding showers, baby showers, birthday parties and anniversary celebrations. We've had Bible studies and little league meetings, plus numerous creative craft classes and our very popular monthly Bunco and "Bing-O-valo" nights!

Our faithful building now needs our love. We have quotes for exterior work including siding and lighting repair, as well as interior work including drywall, lighting and flooring, plus hopefully appliance upgrades too. But we cannot do this alone, we need your help!

We are also partnering with Debbie Dacus and Kelly Sherley to incorporate a fun Ovalo History Hall in our building! You'll see more of this info in our upcoming Open House event post too.

We are blessed to not have a mortgage on the building, but we do pay utilities (electric, gas, & water) plus insurance (property and liability) as well as other routine operating costs. We simply don't have the funds required for facility updates on our own.

We are a Texas Non-Profit, so donations are tax exempt. We thank you SO much for any monetary support you can provide, and we absolutely welcome you ALL to join us at the OCC for our monthly potlucks, game nights, or anything else you may be interested in.

We appreciate your support and your prayers so that we can continue to utilize this historic building as a fun and vital place for our community.
