The O.A.S.I.S. board of Directors would like to welcome two new Church-based Opening Teams to the pantry. A team from New Life Christian Church located in O’Fallon will be managing the 4th Thursday PM pantry opening; and a team from St. Charles Christian Church in St. Charles will manage the third Saturday AM pantry opening. Please welcome these new pantry volunteers and partners in our mission to care for those less fortunate in our community.

Boy Scouts Scouting for Food – Canned Food Drive
On Saturday, November 14th thousands of Scouts will deliver more than 1 million blue Scouting for Food bags throughout the St. Louis metro area, southeast Missouri, and southern Illinois. They will return one week later on November 21 to collect the bags full of donated canned goods.
By giving to Scouting For Food, residents are helping those in need right in their own community. In St. Charles County, Scouts take donations directly to local food pantries including O.A.S.I.S. Residents who do not receive a bag can take canned food donations to any Goodwill store location Nov.
22-28 or donate virtually. To donate virtually to the St. Louis Food Bank or Operation Food Search just text ‘SCOUTFOOD’ to 91999.
