In the immediate aftermath of a disaster event, people are overwhelmed and long for help as they seek to restore a sense of normalcy. In an effort to meet this need, Hope Force International has launched an exciting initiative – the “Oasis of Hope.”  Our goal is to support and care for survivors with dignity and respect in their time of great need.  HFI has acquired a spacious 4,200 square foot, steel-framed tent, dedicated to assisting in the process of meeting the emotional, pragmatic, relational and spiritual needs of disaster survivors.
