We had a marvelous time on Sunday at Oasis Community Kitchen! Oliver from Wild Rise Bakery was able to show us ways to personalize charcuterie boards as well as ways to better cook our vegetables. Bekezela came through with lovely flowers for our moms to make their own and bring home. Massage therapy was greatly appreciated, and hopefully something we can offer frequently in the future. Thank you to those who came and be sure to be on the lookout for future engagement for our YP parents. ... See MoreSee Less
