A Cozy Winter Starts with a Quick Safety Check

/ harvesthillssouth / Leave a comment

Snowfall has a possibility of coming! Be safe and warm!!!

Winter is comingā€¦
With OKCā€™s first frost behind us, fireplaces and space heaters are back in rotation. A quick check now can prevent bigger problems later.

How to stay safe: Ventless fireplaces: Crack a window for airflow. If the flame or smell seems off, call a professional.

Wood-burning fireplaces: Make sure the chimneyā€™s clean, the damper works and decorations arenā€™t too close to the heat.

Space heaters: Plug into the wall, keep clear space around them and turn them off before bed or leaving the room.

Home alarms: Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace batteries.

A helpful resource: OKC homeowners can request free smoke detector installation from OKCFD. A few minutes of prep now keeps your home warm, safe and comfortable all winter.

Tulakes Food Pantry Pet Food Donations

/ harvesthillssouth / Leave a comment

One of our neighbors volunteers at the Tulakes Food Pantry located at 7202 Lyrewood Lane, Okc, Ok. They are in dire need of pet food. It’s one of the Commodities that most food pantries cannot get on a regular basis and they really need our help.Ā We have a donation letter we can send you if you are interested in making a financial donation or if you have food to donate.


If you would be part of the project to help the less fortunate especially for the holidays coming it would be greatly appreciated! They need both dog and cat food wet or dry.Ā 


Some people only have their fur babies as family members. I know I would be heartbrokenĀ if I was unable to feed my dogs. If you have other non perishableĀ itemsĀ that you would like to donate as well, I am sure they would be pleased to get them.Ā 


HarvestĀ Hills South Neighborhood Association has always supported giving back to the community. Let’s see what we can do to help this organization feed the fur babies.

Please contact us at Harvedsthillssouth@gmail.com if you have any additional questions or would like to donate.

As the Holidays are approaching we want to make sure our neighborhood remains safe. 

Over the years, we have had as many as 18 neighbors that would give up an hour or two a week to

help patrol Harvest Hills South. Due to medical reasons and some neighbors moving out of the neighborhood, we need your help in rebuild our patrol unit back up.Ā 

For several years, we had very few incidents occur in Harvest Hills South, but we are starting to see an increase in car break ins. 

Please “GET INVOLVED” and help keep Harvest Hills South a safe neighborhood!

Please contact us and let us know if you are interested and we can get you registered or click the link below. Training takes a little over about an hour at the Hefner Division Police Station.
