OASIS Donation Needs

OASIS Chair, Stephanie Squires

What is OASIS?

The acronym OASIS stands for Outreach Assisting Students In Schools.

This non-profit organization was specifically developed as a unique and effective way of directly distributing donations of children’s personal items to our county’s most needy public school children. Direct communication and cooperation with school based social workers and other school representatives make this effort possible.
