Company Profile

Curbside Enterprises

Company Overview

Curbside Enterprises is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that provides income and employment opportunities to people struggling with homelessness and poverty in Oklahoma City.

Supportive employment and housing programs.
Without income, it is difficult to sustain housing. But for many people who have struggled with homelessness for an extended period of time, traditional employment can be out of reach.

Curbside was created to provide employment, income, and job skills training. But more than that, Curbside was created to build community and help break down socially-isolating walls that often exist between people who have homes and those who don’t.

Company History

When co-founders Whitley O’Connor and Ranya Forgotson first started the Curbside Chronicle in 2013, there was a big question – is a street paper going to work in Oklahoma City like it does in other large cities around the world? It was a new concept here, and thankfully, our community has embraced it.

We have taken that momentum and used it to launch three other social enterprises – giving the community a tangible way to have positive interactions and financially support people working to end their homelessness.

Current social enterprises: Curbside Chronicle, Curbside Flowers, Curbside Apparel, and Sasquatch Shaved Ice.
