Spotlight on KI BOIS Community Action Foundation: Breaking the Cycle of Poverty in Oklahoma

When it comes to making a difference in the lives of Oklahomans, few organizations are as impactful as the KI BOIS Community Action Foundation, Inc.

Henryetta’s very own Tricia Bear recently sat down for an insightful interview with Kendall Spears, MS, from Muskogee, to learn more about the foundation’s mission and the wide range of services they provide. What she uncovered was an organization working tirelessly to eliminate the root causes of poverty and help people get back on their feet.

With offices in Muskogee and Stigler, KI BOIS Community Action has become a trusted resource for families and individuals in crisis. Whether someone is in need of emergency assistance, food, housing, or transportation, this foundation has the tools and programs to step in and help.

But their work doesn’t stop there.

KI BOIS also provides:

• Financial assistance

• Supportive services for veteran families

• A Food Pantry Program

• Healthcare support and referrals

• Help with education and employment resources

• An Estates Program to help manage major life transitions

• Advocacy and legal aid services

As Kendall explained, the goal is not just to patch up the problem but to offer long-term solutions that promote stability and self-reliance. The organization’s work is rooted in compassion and community collaboration.

KI BOIS Community Action Foundation is also a proud member of the Greater Muskogee Area Chamber of Commerce and stays active on both Facebook and LinkedIn, sharing updates, resources, and opportunities for local residents.

If you or someone you know is in need of support, or if you’re looking for a way to give back to your community, KI BOIS Community Action is worth getting to know.
