About the Curbside Chronicle

The Curbside Chronicle is Oklahoma’s street paper created to provide both a voice and employment opportunities for people who are experiencing and at risk of homelessness. In addition to providing a source of income, the Curbside Chronicle works with vendors to break down barriers to traditional employment and develop time management, money management and social skills. Street papers like the Curbside Chronicle enable people to earn enough money to get into housing and end their homelessness. Another core mission of Curbside is to create community and build relationships. Our vendors chip away at social barriers, stereotypes and stigmas one magazine at a time.

The Curbside Chronicle is a program of Curbside Enterprises, a nonprofit organization that provides income, housing, and employment opportunities to people struggling with homelessness and poverty in Oklahoma City. It started in 2013 with our street paper and has since grown to add housing case managers and additional social enterprises including Curbside Flowers, Curbside Apparel, and Sasquatch Shaved Ice. Each year, Curbside helps approximately 200 people gain or maintain housing and empowers our clients to earn over $1 million through our programs. While every purchase provides hours of employment and income to someone in our job skills program, your donations allow us to go a step further providing things like job coaches, housing case managers, training supplies, costs for IDs, and rental deposits. Donate now to helps us continue this vital work.
