Barn swallows ready to leave the nest.

They create some mess but we enjoy the life in the barn. We estimate 40 new swallows born during this summer, including this latest bunch.

Last Saturday Aug 8 was OSC Volunteer training. For some this was new, for others a refresher, for all valuable time and experience as learning is a continuous activity when engaged with equines.

Education is a key facet to all we do, for all programs!

Our summer pilot sessions for Reading with Romeo & Friends have come to an end and today was our debrief meeting to assess the outcome and lay plans for the future.

Literacy and comprehension is critical for our community’s children. At One Step Closer we are committed to making a difference.

Our deepest gratitude to all those that made the connections, laid the foundation, and superbly executed the pilot sessions this summer!

On behalf of OSC, the veterans we serve, and the V.A. Staff we offer our deepest gratitude to the Farrington Historical Foundation for their generous grants.

The Farrington Historical Foundation has been a great partner, for many years, providing life changing financial support to OSC programs in particular our military outreach.

OSC has served ~1500 veterans at no cost to the veterans nor the government. 100% of OSC expenses are covered by grants and private donations. The Board and Members of the Farrington Historical Foundation understand the importance and have seen the benefits for themselves.

We were honored to have their representatives attend our 20 year celebration on June 28, and honored to receive their grants. Thank you!
