Oilfield Helping Hands (OHH), a non-profit organization helping oilfield families in financial crisis due to no fault of their own, has successfully completed its Front Porch Permian Campaign, benefiting the OHH Permian Chapter supporting oilfield families in the Permian Basin.
During the recent quarantine, James Durbin, owner of The Oilfield Photographer, Inc., provided 17 local families the opportunity to have a professional photo taken of their family from their front porch, while following all social distancing guidelines, in exchange for donations to OHH. The campaign raised more than $3,000 for the organization.
Katie Grimes, OHH Permian Chapter President, shared, “We are proud to see how our community and supporters have creatively stepped up to give back to the mission of OHH. We are grateful to James, our multiple event sponsors and to those families who participated. Their efforts will directly impact lives in our community.”
Multiple local sponsors supported the effort, including West Texas National Bank, SHK Advertising, Oil Country Media, Claire Heck of Real Estate One and Ally Outdoors.
