You are warmly invited to join us for our annual Oasis Dinner—an evening of hope, transformation, and lasting impact.

At this special fundraiser, you’ll hear powerful, firsthand Stories of Hope and see how the Mission is changing lives—bringing healing, stable housing, employment, and renewed purpose to men and women who once faced homelessness. The Oasis Dinner directly strengthens our faith-based Hope for Men and Women program, equipping us to meet urgent needs while walking alongside individuals as they rebuild their lives.

This year, our goal is $100,000.

Every gift—large or small—moves us closer to that goal. Every donation provides safe housing, nourishing meals, counseling, life-skills classes, and Christ-centered guidance that leads to real, lasting life change. Your generosity keeps our programs strong all year long and turns stories of hardship into Stories of Hope.

Because of faithful supporters like you, the Mission has expanded this past year—adding beds and improving facilities so we can welcome even more neighbors in need and set them on a path toward self-sustainability. None of this would be possible without your prayers, partnership, and compassion.

If you’re able to attend, we would be honored to share this inspiring evening with you. If you cannot join us, you can still be part of the impact. A simple click of the “Donate” button on our website allows you to give toward our Oasis Fundraiser goal and help transform lives.

Together, we can be the Oasis—bringing hope, restoration, and new beginnings to those who need it most.

We look forward to sharing this meaningful evening with you.
