Volunteer and Staff Appreciation Night
The Oasis Volunteer and Staff Appreciation night was an amazing celebration of all of the people who make Oasis what it is.
Giving Tuesday | Immaculate’s Story
The first thing you might notice about Immaculate is her smile. Not only is it radiant, it also never leaves her face. Even as she tells about her harrowing journey from Uganda to Canada in 2021, she is positively beaming.
Giving Tuesday | Héctor & Luisa’s Story
Héctor and Luisa might just be the power couple of the Oasis Spanish Senior’s group. Since joining, they’ve become a mainstay in the classes and conversations. They’re even serving as class mentors — yes, both of them — sharing their passion for learning and vibrant energy with the rest of the group! There is no slowing them down.
Giving Tuesday | Elliott’s Story
Elliot describes himself as a matchmaker and a talent scout; he is both these things and more. He has an ability to see deeply into people’s personalities and find the best in them. Like a scientist with a microscope, he zeroes in on the talent, the passion, and the unique genius each person has to share, and surfaces it for all to see.
Giving Tuesday | Olesia’s Story
You can find Olesia at Oasis on Tuesday afternoons, helping create grocery bags for the food bank visitors. She makes sure the bags are all as full as possible. “More potatoes!” she insists when a bag feels light. “Five is not enough!”. When it comes to generosity, Olesia makes sure not a single morsel of food goes ungiven.
Celebrating Spanish Heritage Month
This October, our senior’s group celebrated Spanish Heritage Month with two days of fun-filled activities.
