Pivot - A Turning Point for Youth

Pivot started a podcast! This is Pivotal Moments, a snapshot into the goings on in Oklahoma City, the amazing nonprofits who serve the community and the movers and shakers, who make this city such a special place. Listen along to our first few episodes and be on the lookout for new episodes that drop every other Wednesday. 🎧 Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gS-pZwKQ 🎧 Apple: https://lnkd.in/g8Ynxb5i #PivotOkla #PivotalMomentsPod #Podcast

We had to take some time today to say our sincerest thank yous. The way our community came alongside us to support our youth means the world to us. We especially wanted to say thank you to Oklahoma City County Health Department, Jesus House, Inc, The Homeless Alliance, Positive Tomorrows, Purina, Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma and so many others for how you wrapped your arms around us. Oklahoma City is a very special place. 🩵 #PivotOkla

It's been a busy week at Pivot. Time to slow down and be #ThankfulThursday • A delivery from Focus on Home - the 15 new beds for our 15 new Tiny Homes • Club Car Wash's generosity at the opening of their new Oklahoma City location on W 164th St. • Shelly Lewis Stanfield Art dropping off beautiful pieces of art for our Tiny Homes • ARTSPACE hosted our clients from TLP and The Point and taught them how to make fiber art • Express Employment International's Philanthropic Committee for supporting Pivot by empowering the next generation • A chance for our therapists to learn ACT therapy at Sunbeam Family Services. So thankful for this partnership! #PivotOkla

Our employee volunteers picked up their paintbrushes to complete the first projects of our New Paint for a New Start initiative, part of our COLORFUL COMMUNITIES® program. In Canada, 18 volunteers from our Architectural Coatings team came together to refresh hallways and the new library at the Ronald McDonald House Charities South Central Ontario. We donated more than 20 gallons of our PPG Paints PERMA-CRETE® PITT-FLEX® and Glidden ® Ultra™ Interior paints to help protect and beautify the home away from home for families who are seriously ill and being treated at nearby hospitals. In Oklahoma City, 25 volunteers donated their time and more than 60 gallons of our PPG Paints MANOR HALL® paint to protect and beautify hallways, continuing education and workforce development offices at Pivot - A Turning Point for Youth, a nonprofit organization that provides programs and services for students. Our volunteers will be completing more than 25 colorful and transformative makeovers for schools and educational spaces worldwide by the end of August. #ProtectandBeautify #ColorfulCommunities
