Just a mom with a
passion for making a difference
We take donations of clothes and items others no longer need, and put them straight into the hands of mamas who need them. When a mom reaches out, we strive to meet that need — and while we're based around Choctaw, Moore, Edmond, and Prague, we serve mamas all over Oklahoma. If you reach out from anywhere in the state, we'll gather what's needed and make the drive.
Who we are
Hi, I'm Madison.
I'm not a nonprofit or any kind of 501c3 organization — just a mom who's been there. I grew up in DHS custody and had my first child at 19, with no family support, so I know exactly what it's like to be a mom with no village and nowhere to turn.
Since then I've taken in each of my six siblings over the years — the youngest still lives with me. I've worked as a behavioral health tech for ten years with teens facing suicidal ideation, anger, and substance struggles, and I'm now a registered behavior technician helping individuals with autism build the skills to be independent in their community.
Okie Darling Co is where all of that comes together: by gathering and redistributing gently used clothing and necessities to mothers navigating fresh starts, sometimes with nothing at all. In addition to material support, our organization strives to assist with utility cutoff interventions, gas, and grocery provisions as funding allows.
Our organization operates exclusively through the generous support of community contributions and receives no government funding or grants. Any operational expenses not covered by public philanthropy are personally subsidized to ensure continuity of our mission.

Current Needs
We're seeing a big increase in requests for girls' sizes 4T–7/8 and boys' size 10/12 — but truly, we're grateful for anything.
Not sure if something qualifies? Send it anyway — if we can't use it for a mom directly, we'll find a way to put it toward the mission.
