Pitt, OTC Partner "Care To Learn" Program
Pitt and OTC Partner
Springfield businessman Doug Pitt and the Joli-Pitt Foundation are partnering with Ozarks Technical Community College to bring the "Care to Learn" program to the campus.
OTC is the first college to be a part of the program that will offer emergency financial help and other assistance to students or their dependents with hunger, health or hygiene needs.
"It's about addressing a physical need, restoring respect, and getting that child back in the classroom. A kid comes to school with a need and they are taken care of ASAP; restoring self worth and getting them back in the classroom," Pitt said.
To find out more about this program or how you can help, contact the OTC Foundation at 447-2651.
