Tampa Non-Profit Frequently Asked Questions

Who are your clients?

Oasis serves women and families in planned or unplanned pregnancy circumstances. Many of our clients are moderate to low income families who need our services for a healthy pregnancy.

How long are your clients served by Oasis?

We walk along side our clients from the time close to conception past the first birthday of the child. Many of our clients stay with us for up to two years.

How many clients do you serve?

Oasis saw 690 new clients in 2020.

Do you share the Gospel with your clients?

We work to build a relationship with each client that would allow us to tell them the Good News. At some point during their time with Oasis, we will ask permission to share the Gospel. From the beginning of their time with Oasis, we ask them if we can pray for them at the end of each lesson.

How many babies were saved from abortion last year?

There were 51 babies saved from abortion in 2020.

How does Learning and Earning work?

Each time a client comes to one of our centers, they meet with a client advocate and take a class based on where they are in their pregnancy or parenting. With each class, the client earns “points”. Those points are converted to “cash” that allows the client to shop in our Baby Boutique. Each center has a baby store with most everything needed for the child that has been donated to Oasis. The points earned are used to purchase these items.

How is Learning and Earning being handled during this time of quarantine?

All of our curriculum is from Bright Course which is a streaming service. We are able to send a link to our clients so they view on any device they wish and keep up with their lessons. Using Zoom, we are also able to connect with our clients to continue building a mentoring relationship.
