About Us

OASIS Network is a grassroots, volunteer-driven organization, serving at-risk and low-income Hillsborough County students. We provide clothing, shoes, hygiene items and other basic necessities to students in need of assistance.  
This program is made possible through a unique partnership with some 220 social workers of Hillsborough County School District. When a social worker identifies a child lacking basic necessities, the social worker visits one of our sites to select whatever items the child may need-- free of charge! 
With this quick process and minimal red tape, a child can receive items the same day they are requested.
In 2017, a new order-delivery program was piloted to speed delivery of items to students in need. This program is now available to all School Social Workers and their students at all 250 PreK-12th grade schools across Hillsborough County.

Who We Are

We are a group of local individuals dedicated to uplifting and supporting low-income students in the area.  A network of Hillsborough County residents, schools, churches, foundations, corporations, and charitable clubs work together with us to make sure all HCPS students have the tools they need to fully engage in their learning.
​

Our History

OASIS Network was formed by moms who had volunteered in the school system for years and become increasingly concerned with the overwhelming number of children in desperate need of life's basic necessities. Without proper school clothing,  shoes, school supplies and even simple hygiene items, thousands of children find it very difficult to learn and prosper in a school setting. 

OASIS was founded in 2001, when it opened its first  clothing closet at a school.  In 2002, a central site opened in New Tampa, serving Title I schools across the county.  In 2007, OASIS opened a second full-size facility in south Tampa, serving social workers in the southern part of the county and in 2008, OASIS expanded into a third full-size facility in east Tampa. In 2015, at the request of the district and school social workers, to better serve students in the east and south areas of the county, OASIS opened its fourth site in Seffner.
