Executive director talks merits of NW Oklahoma United Way at Lions

United Way of Northwest Oklahoma had a near-record campaign in 2022, which allowed it to allocate even more to its partner agencies. Dan Schiedel, executive director for the Enid-based agency, was the guest speaker recently at Kingfisher Lions Club. A donation to United Way, he said, is a donation to the community. It partners with several different agencies, such as Youth & Family Services of North Central Oklahoma, Girls Scouts of Western Oklahoma, Loaves & Fishes of Northwest Oklahoma, Cimarron Council of Boy Scouts of America, Denny Price Family YMCA and many more. “Our focus is on health, education and financial stability,” he said. The United Way of Northwest Oklahoma last year held its Day of Kindness campaign and worked with, among others, Pioneer Telephone. Its annual fundraising drive runs from August through November. Last year, the United Way of Northwest Oklahoma brought in more than $900,000 through its campaign. It allocated more than $600,000 to its multiple partners. “We are working hard to provide more services in northwest Oklahoma, especially Kingfisher County,” Schiedel said. “We’re also doing it for people who are hurting and just need an encouraging hand.” The Lions Club met for the first time at the new location of The Quilt Lady while its normal meeting place - Kingfisher County Farm Bureau - undergoes renovations.
