Oasis - A Haven for Women and Children

Oasis - A Haven for Women and Children Oasis is a non-profit organization in Paterson, NJ, whose mission is to change the lives of women and children by breaking the cycle of poverty.

Oasis opened its doors in 1997 to service an unmet need. At that time, women and children living in poverty in Paterson, New Jersey did not have access to a soup kitchen for a daily hot meal. As a result, the founders rented space in a local church on main Street and began providing meals to hungry women and children in the community. Over the years, our programs and services grew to include literacy, language and workforce development skills. GED, ESL and Computer Training classes were added, as well as support services including clothing distribution, food pantry, child care, an after-school mentoring program and summer camp program for at risk youth in the community.

Shining some light on our volunteers: Rich and the UPS team! ✨

UPS has been a long-time supporter of Oasis, long before they started volunteering in the kitchen. Rich is celebrating 30+ years of work with UPS and plans to continue volunteering at Oasis. Volunteers like these keep Oasis's mission strong, showing the importance of teamwork outside of normal working hours. Thank you!
