Moore Public Schools selected its nonprofit beneficiaries for the 2024-25 Moore Love Campaign of fundraising throughout the district.

The nonprofits were selected as beneficiaries in July 2024 after hearing nonprofit presentations during Pitch Day by Superintendent Leadership Academy students from Moore, Westmoore and Southmoore High School. These are the students who drive the fundraising efforts for their schools and assist the junior high and elementary schools with fundraising ideas.

Students decided on the recipients for this year's fundraising effort. The Moore Love 2024-25 nonprofit beneficiaries are:

  • Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma: MPS has previously worked with RFBO to provide food in backpacks for approximately 700 MPS elementary students without enough food at home to sustain them over the weekend. Learn more: regionalfoodbank.org
 
  • Moore Faith Medical Center: They started their health and medical clinic and pharmacy nonprofit in 2015 to address that one in four Oklahomans goes without medical care. Many times, those without medical care and poor health get into situations that compound, including missed work, job loss, bankruptcy, homelessness and more. Their volunteers have served patients and given more than 80,000 hours to community members in need.

  • Fostering Sweet Dreams: FSD impacts the lives of Oklahoma’s most vulnerable children daily. FSD began in 2016 by providing beds to foster and kinship families that were bringing children into their home, often after cases of abuse and neglect. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OHS) requires that each foster child in a home has their own bed. 
    They also help other vulnerable children and families, who are not involved with OHS, but have a need for the resources we provide. 
    Getting good sleep is essential to optimal physical, mental, and emotional health. Often, the children FSD serves are going through a traumatic time in their lives. Learn more:  fosteringsweetdreams.com 
 
  • Moore Police Department: Safety Town The Moore Police Department has three primary juvenile programs: Kops and Kids (elementary), Junior Police Academy (junior high summer program), and the Cadet Academy (high school age). The Northwest section of our community can be a challenged area due to socioeconomic issues and family structure. There is a high level of violent crimes in this area, and has children who experience routine adverse childhood experiences (ACE's). MPS looks to build a Safety Town Children's Center  in Parmele Park and have three child-outreach and resource programs operate through the site. Learn more: cityofmoore.com
 
  • MPS Foundation: Bridges Capital Campaign The biggest focus this year for the Moore Public Schools Foundation is a capital campaign called Building Bridges. Together, Moore Public Schools, MPSF, and Bridges, Inc. are working to make the dream of the Bridges of Moore Village a reality. Since 2002, MPS students have raised over $300,000 for this campaign. Bridges takes in students who - through no fault of their own - find themselves homeless or shelter insecure. Bridges helps students with food, clothing, medical needs, and above all else – stable housing. When completed, Bridges of Moore will provide housing for up to twenty unaccompanied MPS youth. Learn more: mooreschools.com/BuildingBridges

Funds they receive in spring 2025 will nonprofit recipients sustain selected programs or develop new initiatives, with services coming back into the Moore community and reaching MPS families.

This is the eighth year of the MPS Moore Love philanthropic initiative, focusing on engaging the MPS community to unite as one fundraising powerhouse to provide funding to local nonprofits that support MPS students and families.

The set MPS fundraising month is February, but students begin their activities for their intra-district competition almost as soon as school starts in August. Applications are open May 1 to May 30 each spring, and may be found at mooreschools.com/MooreLove. 

MPS is the fourth largest Oklahoma public school district (FY24) with approximately 24,200 students throughout 35 school sites and 2,700 employees. For information about MPS visit mooreschools.com or call 405-735-4200.
