Hundreds of youth in Kitsap County are experiencing homelessness. Many of these youth battle depression, isolation, addiction, and trauma. They do not have the loving support of a community or family. They do not have a safe refuge to return to at night. They do not have hope for tomorrow because they are battling to survive just for the day.
But you can offer them hope, safety, healing, and a home through The Coffee Oasis youth programs. You can offer them a safe and encouraging place to live while they work towards sustainable housing and employment. You can offer youth healing from trauma and freedom from addiction. You can offer them community. You can offer them the tools and resources they need to thrive.
You can help provide shelter and resources to youth in Kitsap County by participating in the 2021 Hope Gala. Whether you bid, raise your paddle, or purchase a swag pack, you will be providing shelter and resources for youth in Kitsap County. You will offer youth a place to find rest, safety, and hope for the future.

COVID Precautions & Guidelines
Since the beginning of the pandemic, The Coffee Oasis has made every effort to enforce the latest health recommendations regarding COVID-19. We want to be respectful and careful. COVID has hurt many people.
The Coffee Oasis is committed to upholding the latest federal, state, and local guidelines regarding this pandemic. Since our commitment is to uphold the guidelines, it is possible that we will have to transition to a virtual event if state guidelines change. This also means that we will be strictly upholding masking guidelines at the event.
If you don't feel safe attending this event—whether you are a staff member, volunteer, or have already purchased tickets—we want to make it easy for you to transition to the virtual option or receive a refund. Last year's virtual event was a wonderful experience and we hope you choose to still participate that way if you do not feel safe coming to the in-person gathering. Either way, we hope you choose to join us online or on-site for this hope filled evening!
