Our Giveback

WHO DO WE GIVE BACK TO:

Here at Insure918, Inc. God and family are our top priority. For this reason our giveback program goes to Eastern Oklahoma Catholic Charities. This mission of Catholic Charities is to be Christ’s merciful love to those who suffer.

The mission of Catholic charities is carried out by Catholic people and others by pooling together resources to assist those in need. Catholic Charities is essential in carrying out the works of mercy for the church.

Catholic Charities has five Core Values which include Faith, Hope, Charity, Dignity and Solidarity

WHY DO WE GIVE BACK:

Here at Insure918, Inc. we understand that without the blessing of Christ we would not have the opportunity to pursue our own personal and professional goals. While God has granted everyone the power of free will, what you do with that opportunity varies greatly from person to person. For people suffering from mental or physical disabilities as well as drug and alcohol addictions the ability to pursue gainful employment dramatically decreased. By giving a portion of our profits to Eastern Oklahoma Catholic Charities we are able to help those less fortunate people right here in the 918 area code.

ADOPTION SERVICES:

The Eastern Oklahoma Catholic Charities works with both birth mothers and families wanting to adopt and grow their family. Families wanting to adopt through the Catholic Charities are required to meet certain criteria.

The family must submit references, medical and financial reports and also submit fingerprints for an OSBI background check and DHS child abuse and neglect checks. The process will continue with an adoptive family review and adoptive preparation seminar. Once approved, the adoptive parent profiles are presented to birth parents to review and select a home for the baby.

HEALING AFTER ABORTION:

During this weekend women will have access to a wide range of support services and resources. A priest, licensed therapist and a whole support team is available to help you through the grieving process.
