Help women and children rise out of poverty
Give today to provide families with education and basic human needs.
Our Mission
The mission of Oasis is to change the lives of women and children by breaking the cycle of poverty through compassionate programs designed to feed, clothe, educate, and empower women and children in need.
Our Programs
Adult Education
Oasis provides women with free, high-quality educational opportunities so they can change their own futures.
Youth Development
Oasis provides children and teenagers with after-school and enrichment programs to set them up for a brighter future.
Oasis offers women and children the support of social workers who can provide them with the services they need to improve their lives.
Basic Needs
Oasis helps families meet their immediate needs, offering them food, clothing, and baby supplies, to sustain them on their path forward.
Thrift Store
Oasis operates a thrift store, selling donated clothing at reduced prices so local families can better afford the clothing they need.
Linda’s Story
Linda is one example of many women who come to Oasis facing hardship and transform their lives with Oasis’s support. Growing up in Paterson in a single-parent household after her father was deported, Linda experienced food insecurity and cramped living conditions while helping her mother work cleaning jobs. Oasis helped to provide comprehensive academic and financial guidance through elementary, middle, and high school, assisting with college applications, essay reviews, and FAFSA forms. With Oasis’s ongoing support, Linda became the first in her family to graduate college, went on to earn her master’s degree in social work, and now serves as a licensed school social worker supporting children in her community.
