Sixth Annual "Touch a Heart for Christmas" |
|
Our sixth annual "Touch a Heart for Christmas" kids party gave gifts to over 350 children this year. The annual event took place in the junior auditorium at Palm Beach Baptist Church. Many thanks to our sponsors for this year's event; Jarden Consumer Solutions, Greenacres and Lake Worth Post Office mail carriers, Key Club at Park Vista High School, Savannah Court, Pine Ridge Condo Association and many others for sponsoring over 1000 gifts for the children. This annual event is a major gift to the community as many parents find it difficult to provide gifts for their children. Oasis is thankful for all its partners for making this possible.

2009-08-26: Job Candidate Update - Victor Lopez |
|

I am now employed! Thanks to Oasis.
Victor Lopez, in his own words:
"One day I was walking and walking looking for a job. I met an Oasis Compassion client and he explained to me how the program works. I walked in and met with the intake counselor (Greyni) and asked about help finding employment. I told her my story how I had just moved from New York and my wife is still there, suffering from health problems. I was looking to find a job that would allow me to bring my wife down here, so her health could improve.
