Tulsa, OK – A new nonprofit has launched in Tulsa to provide support and resources to hospitality and service industry professionals in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Service Guild is aiming to provide service industry workers with one-stop access to resources like independent health insurance enrollment, vision screenings, professional therapy and support groups, voter registration, retirement and tax planning, as well as many other benefits.

Our GoFundMe is currently raising $5,000 to hire a professional grant writing firm so we can apply for the nationally-funded Route 66 Revitalization Grant. If awarded, then we will receive up to 2 million to purchase and restore our flagship building, creating a central hub for Hospitality workers across Oklahoma.

In March 2020, Lindsey Scotney, owner of Ellis Hospitality, watched her friends, colleagues, and mentors struggle through the COVID pandemic shutdown. The toll it took on their personal and professional lives was devastating. A professional chef and sommelier, Scotney longed for a better system to support service industry professionals. After the successful launch of her hospitality staffing company in Spring 2021, Scotney began to work on creating The Oklahoma Service Guild to support the service industry in ways local businesses are not set up to do. In the Spring of 2025, this vision was expanded to include a board of seven industry leaders across Oklahoma. We are continuing to grow and envision new support horizons for our friends and coworkers.
