Overview

Mission

The main aim of the charity work in portsmouth, chesapeake, and suffolk is to end hunger - feed hope. This is accomplished by providing support for people in need in the form of clothing, food, and assistance to enable them to improve their lives.

What it reported doing in 2024

For individuals experiencing homelessness or food insecurity, we offer a daily community soup kitchen that is available for breakfast and lunch. Hunger doesnt go on vacation so neither do weour soup kitchen is available 365 days of the year. The oasis community food pantry is now client choice. Our food pantry is stocked with a variety of nutritious and healthy foods designed to meet your health needs. Unlike most food pantries, we put the power of choice in your hands, allowing you to decide for yourself what you and your family need. The ability to choose reduces food waste and makes it easy to meet any medical, allergen, and nutritional requirements.
