KIDS FIRST

How Lawton Puts KIDS FIRST:

The City of Lawton is vowing to put KIDS FIRST because we believe every child deserves to grow up in a safe, clean, and nurturing environment. Clean neighborhoods aren’t just about appearances—they’re about fostering a community where families feel secure, children can explore safely, and everyone takes pride in their surroundings.

This page serves as your hub for all things related to keeping our neighborhoods clean and safe. From resources for the homeless to events like Trash-Off and Stream Clean Saturdays, we’re committed to creating a healthier, more vibrant community for everyone.

Browse our subpages to discover how you can get involved, learn about local efforts, and join us in building a community where kids and families can thrive.
