Children’s Summer Food Program
During the months of June, July and August the O.A.S.I.S. Food Pantry provides extra food to families with school-aged children who miss their school meals due to the summer break. This year we estimate serving about 600 children at a cost of about $15,000. Monetary donations are welcome as no grants have been received to help with this year’s program expenses. If you would like to donate food items to the program we need: mac and cheese, granola bars, 4-pack fruit cups, and canned meats like beef ravioli.

Food Pantry as this large food drive was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. 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.

The O.A.S.I.S. Food Pantry is a recipient of the April Showers personal care items, so please give generously when you see the Girl Scout table or booth at your favorite store on April 2nd.

We are sending our gratitude for the blessings received at the pantry during this season of Thanksgiving. With combined Boy Scout, Francis Howell HS, and local day care food drives O.A.S.I.S. received more than 15,500 food items. Pick-up, sorting and stacking all those canned food items would not have been possible without help from the Lindenwood Men’s Lacrosse team, Women’s Field Hockey Team and several of our regular volunteers.
Thank you to those who donated food items, the volunteers that picked up items, and the volunteers that sorted and stacked. When we work together, so much can be accomplished to help our neighbors in need.
Happy Thanksgiving!
The O.A.S.I.S. Board of Directors
