Help the Crossroads Youth and Family Shelter!!
This week Norman citizens became aware of the Cleveland County Budget Board’s decision to cut funding for the Crossroads Youth and Family Shelter. Concerned citizens then contacted the commissioners to ask why the funding will be cut. The most conclusive answer we received is Commissioner Rod Cleveland’s response that the county shouldn’t be in the business of charity.
PLEASE CLICK HERE TO SIGN A PETITION asking Cleveland County to Continue Funding Crossroads
and ask your friends to sign, too!
