During the 2024-2025 school year, 913 public school students in Kitsap County experienced homelessness. These numbers represent only those we can count. Many more youth struggle daily with depression, anxiety, isolation, addiction, and trauma—often fighting to survive the day.
One Hope Gala sponsor, Matt Lewis from Pacific Lifestyle Homes shared:
“Housing is something that’s obviously near and dear to our hearts, and there’s such a huge need. When you talk about children, there are even fewer choices.”
The Coffee Oasis is the only youth shelter in Kitsap County. And last year, you provided 2,897 bed nights of shelter and essential resources such as showers, laundry, food, and more for 1,588 youth. Will you continue to show up for youth seeking safety at The Coffee Oasis?
Join us at the 13th Annual Hope Gala! Hear incredible youth stories., bid to give during our exciting auction, and join in the dessert dash—all to give youth a safe place to take shelter, heal, belong, and grow.
