    I always feel comfortable donating my clothing, children’s toys, books and food here. I know that they truly have the women and childrens’ best interest at heart. Many places in Clifton don’t even accept donations, but even if oasis is full, they accept donations to sell and use that money towards their great cause. Wanda is always so incredibly sweet, and she handles the donations. She always has a smile which is definitely a breath of fresh air. In this area of Paterson, this building feels incredibly safe because they lock all the doors at the entrance. Overall, I’m so glad I found this place and will continue to send donations. I feel great knowing they do such awesome things. :)

    My son who started kindergarten this year attended Oasis's Michael Wagner after-school program for a short period of time before we moved out of Paterson. I can honestly say it's literally the only thing I will miss about Paterson. The staff, volunteers and director at this after-school program are exceptional!!! They are all so kind and you can just feel how much they care. I highly recommend anyone in Paterson who's looking for quality after-school care to reach out to them and cross your fingers that they are not at max capacity! He absolutely loved this program and so did I!!

    Great program supporting women and children. I had the honor of touring the building and hearing about all of the great programs they have. I look forward to volunteering in the future to help them continue their mission.

    The director is a nice guy. The organization is awesome. They help women and children with anything they need. Especially food and clothing. They serve meals everyday for women and children who need it. Its also a great place to volunteer.

    Made just for women and children Oasis is that place if you are hungry, thirsty, in need of clothing or just support. You walk through the doors and let them know. Someone will be there to help. They serve breakfast Mon-Fri at 8:15

    I was treated really bad today. I was targeted because I complained in the past about one of their workers and how unprofessional she was to me. So when I came to get my turkey today they all set in motion to treat me really bad first they gave me a bag with nothing in it just two items where everybody else was getting full big bags of stuff and then when I sat down to have my Thanksgiving dinner they gave me the smallest and most tiniest plate you can imagine you would think they fixed a plate for a toddler. I was appalled by their behavior they spoke about God today they said prayer to God but those people are not godly people those people are not good people they run a very good intentional organization but they're the people themselves are not good people I was disgusted by the behavior.I also was told get out of line and handed a bag with a very very small turkey. God doesn't like ugly..
