Bethesda Free Clinic
Opened: June 23, 2012
Since its inception on June 23, 2012, Bethesda Free Clinic has been a beacon of hope and support for the community. Sponsored by the First Baptist Church of Langley and supported by the Craig-Mayes Baptist Association, our mission is to share and demonstrate the message of Christ by uniting volunteers to help meet the spiritual, emotional, and healthcare needs of individuals at no cost to the patient.
A Vision Realized
The concept of Bethesda Free Clinic was envisioned over two years before opening by Dr. Pat Belford, a devoted member of the church. This initiative aligns seamlessly with the church’s vision of being a "Life Development Church," committed to enhancing the lives of those in the Langley community. Originally, the plan was to operate at least one Saturday a month, but through God's blessings and the generosity of medical personnel and volunteers, the clinic is proud to be open every Saturday, providing vital services to those in need.
Services Provided
At Bethesda Free Clinic, we focus on providing quality care for acute illnesses, including:
Infections
Colds
Flu
All services are provided completely free of charge, ensuring that everyone has access to the healthcare they need without the burden of financial stress.
Important Information
Childcare: Please note that the clinic does not provide childcare services.
Medications: The clinic does not maintain any medications, including narcotics. Consequently, we do not write prescriptions for controlled substances, narcotics, or pain medications. For your convenience, a list of drugs for which prescriptions will not be written is available at the clinic.
Resource Assistance: A Resource Director is available during clinic hours to assist clients in identifying additional services and resources that the clinic may not be able to provide. This includes helping individuals find the necessary support within the community for their specific needs.
Our Commitment
At Bethesda Free Clinic, we are dedicated to serving our community with compassion and care. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, and we strive to make a positive impact in the lives of those we serve. Whether you're facing a minor illness or seeking resources for further support, we are here to help you on your journey toward better health.

Home of Hope Chocolate Festival
What could be sweeter than spending an evening savoring decadent chocolate desserts while supporting a noble cause? The annual Chocolate Affair offers the perfect opportunity for chocoholics and dessert enthusiasts to indulge in an irresistible array of chocolate delights—all while raising funds for a worthwhile organization.
Event Details
Held on a delightful Wednesday evening in early March, the Chocolate Affair is hosted by Home of Hope, Vinita’s sweetest event that brings together the community for a night of gastronomic pleasure. Attendees can look forward to a sumptuous selection of chocolate desserts and sweet treats prepared by the finest restaurants, caterers, specialty shops, and wineries from Vinita and the surrounding Grand Lake area.
A Sweet Tradition
For many years, the Chocolate Affair took place at the Craig County Community Center. However, in 2021, the challenges posed by the pandemic necessitated a change in format. Embracing the spirit of adaptability, the Home of Hope transformed the event into a drive-through experience. This innovative approach not only ensured safety through social distancing but also garnered popularity among attendees.
In past years, vendors delighted guests with delicious chocolate samples and an assortment of other tasty treats. For the drive-through event, all delectable sweets and chocolate delights were conveniently assembled into pre-packaged treat bags, allowing ticket holders to savor the experience from the comfort of their own homes.
Highlights of the Evening
The Chocolate Affair features a plethora of engaging activities beyond the tantalizing chocolate treats. Guests can participate in a silent auction, which has transitioned online since the event became a drive-through format. The event is known for its fun and creative themes, ranging from a whimsical safari to the enchanting world of Willy Wonka. Attendees have enjoyed special surprises over the years, including visits from Willy Wonka himself and even a free double-feature movie screening on one memorable occasion.
Supporting a Worthy Cause
The Chocolate Affair serves as a vital fundraiser for Home of Hope, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing residential, vocational, and quality-of-life programs for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities across northeast Oklahoma. The event was launched in 2008 to bolster Home of Hope's programs and operations.
Dr. Ralph Richardson, CEO of Home of Hope, emphasizes the significance of contributions to the event: “The support from the Chocolate Affair helps us achieve our mission of promoting choices, independence, and a meaningful life for the individuals we serve. As state and federal funding sources continue to dwindle, events like this are crucial for sustaining our services. We are incredibly grateful to the vendors and guests who make this event a success.”
About Home of Hope
Established in 1968, Home of Hope, Inc. operates in Vinita, Jay, Miami, Claremore, Grove, and Pryor. The organization serves over 270 individuals with developmental and other disabilities, employing more than 600 staff members to provide high-quality care and support.
Event Location and Ticket Information
The drive-through Chocolate Affair will be held at the Home of Hope Administrative Building, located at 226 W. Dwain Willis Ave. Tickets for this delectable event can be purchased online or at several locations in Vinita, including:
Clanton’s Cafe
Lucille’s Flowers & Gifts

Angel's Pet Funeral Home and Crematory
A Dream of Compassionate Care
Angel Askins’ dream of creating a compassionate sanctuary for pets began over 20 years ago. With a background as a licensed funeral director for over 33 years and 20 years of experience as a crematory operator, Angel envisioned a place where pets would receive the same special care and compassion as our human family members.
Specialized Care
Located in Oklahoma, Angel’s Pet Funeral Home and Crematory stands out as the only facility in the state entirely dedicated to honoring our four-legged companions. Unlike traditional funeral homes, Angel’s operates independently, ensuring that your beloved pet is treated with the utmost dignity and respect. You can rest easy knowing that every aspect of their care is handled with love.
Personalized Services for Unique Grief
Understanding that grief is a personal journey, Angel’s offers a range of services to ease the burden during this challenging time. Our services include:
Pick-Up and Delivery: We provide convenient pick-up and delivery from your veterinarian's office or your home, making the process as smooth as possible.
Viewing Rooms: Our facility features two warm and inviting viewing rooms where families can say goodbye in a comforting atmosphere. Here, you can choose to have your pet euthanized in a peaceful setting, rather than in a sterile veterinarian's office.
Memorial Options: Choose from laser-engraved urns or memorial stones to keep your pet’s memory alive. Engraving services are also available for a variety of materials, including leather, metal, and granite.
Grief Counseling: We understand the impact of losing a pet and offer monthly grief counseling sessions led by a licensed therapist certified in pet loss therapy. These sessions are held on the second Saturday of each month and provide a supportive space for sharing feelings and memories.
It’s Your Choice
When the time comes, you have the power to choose how to memorialize your pet. Whether through cremation, burial, or a memorial service, Angel’s will coordinate with any veterinarian to alleviate the stress of this difficult process. Simply inform your vet that you choose Angel’s, and rest assured that both you and your pet will be treated like family.
Our Services
Pet Crematory:
At Angel’s, we offer private cremations for pets of all sizes, conducted with dignity and respect. Our state-of-the-art facility allows families to witness the cremation if they wish. While it’s a difficult subject, we aim to provide a meaningful experience during such times. Cremation fees are based on your pet's weight; please contact us for detailed pricing.
Pet Funeral Home & Chapel:
Our chapel can accommodate up to 55 people, providing a serene space for memorial services or celebrations of your pet’s life. The chapel is also available for events or meetings, fostering a sense of community during times of sorrow.
Viewing Rooms:
Angel designed the viewing rooms to provide a comforting farewell for families. You can choose to have your pet brought from your vet’s office to the viewing room, allowing your family to grieve and say goodbye in a more personal setting. Pet siblings are also welcome to be part of this heartfelt goodbye.
Pick-Up & Delivery Services:
Angel’s offers complimentary pick-up from any veterinarian clinic within a 25-mile radius of Tulsa. For home removals, a fee of $35.00 applies. For pickups outside the 25-mile radius, a mileage fee of $1.50 per mile (one way) will be charged.
Laser Engraving Services:
In addition to urns and memorial stones, we provide engraving services for various items, allowing you to personalize your pet's memorial in a special way.
At Angel’s Pet Funeral Home and Crematory, we are committed to providing a comforting and compassionate experience for families facing the loss of their beloved pets. We invite you to visit our facility or reach out for more information about how we can assist you during this difficult time.
