Welcome to the internet home of Orient Area Betterment & Improvement Corporation. OABI is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that coordinates and encourages community development to improve the quality of life in our small town. We also market our community to businesses, developers, and interested individuals; and are the parent organization of the annual Pumpkin Days festivities.
 
As a non-profit, we are primarily funded by the generosity of interested individuals and groups who wish to see our community thrive and improve. Donations may be tax deductible. Please contact a board member if you are interested in assisting us in our mission.
