2022 O.A.S.I.S. Golf Tournament

The 2022 Bob Schreiber Memorial Golf Tournament was held on June 6th at Old Hickory Golf Club in St. Peters. Although we were warned of possible storms, the weather cooperated and 140 golfers enjoyed a relaxing day on the course, an enjoyable happy hour, and fun silent auction. This year’s goal was to raise enough funds to replace two worn out commercial freezers in the pantry. The 2022 Tournament was a considerable success generating over $22K which will cover the cost of the freezers. As this is the only O.A.S.I.S. fund raiser a BIG thank you goes out to all who golfed and those who volunteered to make the 2022 event a whole-in-one.

Food Specials Needed

Have you noticed the rise in food prices? As food prices go up, food donations from local supermarkets seem to go down.

Donations of these special items would be greatly appreciated by the food pantry and our clients.

  • Canned sloppy Joe sauce
  • Suddenly Salad
  • Pasta Sides
  • Tuna Helper
  • Salad dressings
  • BBQ sauce
  • Ketchup
  • Mustard
  • Mayo
  • Brownie Mix
  • Muffin Mix
  • Taco shells
  • Refried beans
  • Ro-tel canned tomatoes
  • Biscuit Mix
  • Country gravy mix

Children’s Summer Food Program

The Children’s Summer Food Program is in full swing as we provide extra food for families with school-aged children during the summer months. This year we estimated serving about 600 children — we are halfway through the program and have served over 500 children. This is an unexpected increase over last year’s program and monetary donations are welcome as no grants have been received to help with this year’s program expenses.

As always, we thank you for your continued support of O.A.S.I.S. and our to help mission those less fortunate in our community.

The Affordable Connectivity Program for TEFAP & CSFP Participants

As part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the President and Congress created the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which allows tens of millions of American households to reduce their internet service costs by up to $30 per month (or $75 per month on Tribal lands).  Qualified households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if the household contributes more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price.   We request your help in spreading the word to TEFAP and CSFP program participants. To support your efforts, please feel free to use the following resources:

  • White House Fact Sheet on the ACP and its benefits
  • AffordableConnectivity.gov, a website that includes resources under the “community resources” tab such as a toolkit with outreach materials for State and local leaders, including and social media image files for download to enhance your messages.
  • GetInternet.gov to find out more about ACP and find participating internet providers in their area.
  • Outreach partners can request the pre-qualification widget to embed on their websites by emailing ACProgram@usac.org with the subject line “ACP Widget” for technical support. In the email, please include the web address where you plan to add the widget. The interactive widget includes questions that a consumer can answer to determine if they may qualify for the ACP and then presents next steps based on the responses.

For CSFP State agencies, please be aware that this benefit is considered an in-kind payment for CSFP per 7 CFR 247.9(d)(2)(ii).  Accordingly, States have the option to exclude this benefit from income eligibility requirements.  Please note that per 7 CFR 247.6(c)(2), States must include options to be used relating to income or other eligibility requirements in their State plan.

O.A.S.I.S. Annual Golf Tournament Celebrates Fifteen Years

The fun and exciting Bob Schreiber Memorial Golf Tournament returns to Old Hickory Golf Club on Monday, June 6, 2022.  This tournament is the primary fundraiser for the O.A.S.I.S. Food Pantry, which has been dedicated to serving the nutritional and hygiene needs of families in St. Charles for 32 years.

Bob Schreiber was our Tournament Chairman who worked tirelessly until his passing in 2019 to make this tournament a success.  We at O.A.S.I.S. certainly miss the devoted leadership of Bob and Donna and renamed the tournament in Bob’s honor in 2021. Through the years, this tournament has helped O.A.S.I.S. fund several needed capital projects such as our warehouse and classroom building and two badly needed trucks.

For 2022, our tournament goal is to raise $16,000 to purchase two new interior freezer units in the pantry.  This year’s event includes a round of golf with cart at Old Hickory, a courtesy practice range, a light breakfast and box lunch, and free beverages throughout the course.  We’ve added two exciting game competitions sponsored by DIXON GOLF, including hole-in-one prizes on each par 3 and a new par 5 competition.  Cash prizes are awarded for Championship, A, and B flights.

Following the round of golf, there will be a social hour with appetizers and silent auction, followed by the awards presentation.  The good news is we’ve kept the registration fee at $175, and there is no added cost to compete in any of the new game competitions.

Through the years, your tournament participation has enabled us to make a difference in the lives of many St. Charles County families.

We thank you for your continued support and look forward to seeing you on Monday, June 6, at the beautiful Old Hickory Golf Club.

The Girl Scouts April Showers drive was very successful collecting and distributing almost 9,000 personal care and baby items to the food pantry.

This is a wonderful opportunity for the food pantry to refill the shelves with canned goods to last through the summer. Please watch for Stamp Out Hunger information from your local mail carrier.
