During the Spring 2025 semester, students in Prof. John Harris‘s “Community Development” course worked with Tulakes Neighborhood Ministries to offer recommendations for their site needs and possible paths for future development.
The students completed a site visit on April 7th to learn more about the history and priorities of Tulakes Neighborhood Ministries and to meet with their leadership, food pantry staff, and medical clinic staff. The students’ final presentation included information on zoning, financing strategies, local demographic data, possible site designs, and information about look-alike organizations for expanded services. The students made their final presentation to the executive director of Tulakes Neighborhood Ministries, Celia Palmer, on May 7, 2025.
The project was undertaken in collaboration with the OU Institute for Quality Communities and the Regional Foodbank of Oklahoma.
