OUT OF THE NEED RISES THE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP OUR HUNGRY LOCALS: many hands meet great goals
LAWTON, Okla. (KSWO) - 7News anchor Dave Hunter spoke to Dot Noel, who is credited with organizing many of “Lawton’s Chain of Love’s” efforts to support the Lawton community. Chain of Love is a volunteer group dedicated to helping those in need. Though they are not a 501(c) nonprofit, they have brought together an impressive number of like-minded individuals who collect food, drinks, and clothing for Lawton’s underserved communities. Noel explained the group’s humble beginnings. “People reached out and said, ‘What do you need?’ And I said we’re kind of low on this and that and people started responding to the Facebook page because it was supposed to be the informative part. And I made a list of what we have, and I made a list of what we need and people started bringing these things.” Chain of Love now has up to seven cooks and even DoorDash drivers who volunteer to deliver meals. Currently, about eight drivers take meals directly to the homes of those who otherwise wouldn’t be able to reach Chain of Love.
