Our Mission

The mission of Ozark Opportunities, Inc. is to partner with organizations, families, and individuals to provide services and empowerment opportunities for those with limited means to improve their quality of life.

More Than a Safety Net – We’re a Launchpad

As a 501(c)(3) Community Action Agency serving Baxter, Boone, Marion, Newton, Searcy, and Van Buren counties, OOI has supported Arkansas families for over 50 years. From early childhood education to utility assistance, health programs to housing support, our work meets people where they are – and helps them get where they want to go.

Built by the Community… for the Community

Guided by a tri-partite board with representatives from each county, OOI reflects the voices of the people we serve. Every program we offer—from weatherization to food support—began with one question: What does our community need most? That’s how we’ve grown—from small beginnings in 1969 to a multi-service agency improving lives every day.
