In addition to serving daily hot lunch to the community at large, Oasis also operates a food pantry. There we collect donations and create “food bags” which contain simple staples that are given out to women and children who might otherwise go hungry. You may choose one (or a few) of the items from the list (on the right) and donate them in bulk (we’re always in need of peanut butter, for example), or you may donate food bags that you create yourself. These bags contain enough food to feed a family of four for about three days.
TO DONATE FOOD, please call Wanda at 973-881-8307, extension 100, or e-mail her at wanda@oasisnj.org. It is difficult for us to accommodate bags dropped off at our door without prior notice. Please let us know in advance that you will be coming with a food donation. We are grateful for your help! BETWEEN NOW AND APRIL 30, 2010, you have a special opportunity to help Oasis alleviate hunger in Paterson, NJ!Find out how by clicking here...
