A community for a common goal

What better way to serve community loved ones requiring elder care than contributing to an organization taking action to help? The W.F. and Mada Dunaway Manor was built in 1962 at the urgency of Dr. W.F. Dunaway because there was a need for so many members of our community then and now, right here in Guymon, Oklahoma.

Fourteen citizens met September 17, to discuss needs and solutions to help the residents.

On October 4, plans were developed to raise funding for residents of the facility. Dan Stiles, Administrator, Heritage & WF and Mada Dunaway Manor was present to provide a “NEED” list. This list consists of what is needed immediately to help aid in the care of the residents.

The first priority project takes place Saturday, November 2. The long-term care dining hall overhaul needs to be completed. This project is an in kind project from donations of supplies and labor provided by mission groups from the Church of the Nazarene, the Baptist Ministries, and the Victory Memorial United Methodist Men. We are looking for more who like to do “hands on” volunteer work.

Monetary donations will be appreciated for a smaller second project to replace flatware and dinnerware in the dining halls for the residents.

The next meeting will be October 22, at 7 pm, at the First Baptist Church, 2201 N Lelia, Guymon, Oklahoma. Please enter the Fellowship Hall (East Wing Door).

You can help Helping Hands for Heritage get started with your in-kind or monetary donations. Other projects will be addressed as funding becomes available through donations.

  • Dead Limbs on Trees Cut
