Community support is at the heart of all we do at Red Oak. From backpacks and uniforms to Thanksgiving baskets and holiday gift drives, there’s lots of ways to give back to those in need with us.
Volunteer
Whether you’re interested in serving as an iC.A.R.E. mentor, stuffing sponsorship packets, or helping to organize and distribute supplies to students and staff, we can always use an extra set of hands from a volunteer that’s ready to “Be the Change”.
