WHAT IS OASIS?
OASIS is a morale based organization providing packages and mail to the troops deployed in support of Operation New Dawn, Odyssey Dawn and Enduring Freedom.
We would also like to honor them in some way by giving back from the community. We do this
in the form of a welcome home party or other events to honor their courage and thank them for their service.
Do you know of a young military man or woman deployed overseas
who would love to get mail and/or packages?
We send theme packages, letters, cards, and over-sized group cards
to individuals and entire units.
Let us make sure no one is forgotten!

A Little About Us
OASIS was formed when a very special person who knew of two moms who needed support from each other to find strength and hope through their son's deployments.
Erin
This was such an easy fit, with many years of experience working for Morale,
Welfare and Recreation, I felt that the morale of our men and women so far from home could always use a boost. When my son deployed he told me
of many he knew who were not as fortunate in receiving pakages weekly.
Tess
Recognizing many people want to reach out to our troops but not knowing how, Co-Founding
OASIS gave everyone an opportunity to show their support for our troops. Experiencing the impact to morale for my sons serving at war by sending packages to both of them and their fellow soldiers, made me realize how
important it was to send a "box of love" from home to be shared by all.
Learning not everyone had support from back home, forming OASIS was the perfect
way of expressing how much they are truly appreciated! Having loved ones at war is so difficult. Sometimes you don't feel you can do enough to support
them. Being a soldier isn't always an easy task. Showing appreciation for all the sacrifices they are making is something "we the people" can do
by sending them fun stuff they can enjoy being away from the comforts of home. |
