A shower, a meal, and a ray of hope—Day centers are a vital resource for our neighbors who are trying to get off the streets. At the Oasis Day Center, they can get hot meals, bathrooms, showers, and all kinds of support.

But that support doesn't come from a spigot—it comes from people. People who have survived trauma, homelessness, addiction, and despair. People who have turned their lives around, and now offer strength and experience to those who need it the most.

Just ask Michelle.
