Over 350 people dedicated to supporting youth in our community filled the Kitsap Conference Center on Friday, September 15, 2023 for The Coffee Oasis 10th Annual Hope Gala. It was a powerful evening full of excitement, laughter, and tears. A youth who participated in The Coffee Oasis youth programs, shared her story. Jesse Savage was honored with the David O. Frederick Community Impact Award. It was a night of celebration and reflection on the legacy of loving sacrifice in this community. We are so grateful for the outpouring of generosity and support through this event. 

Thanks to the generous contributions through the Hope Gala, youth will be able to have access to emergency shelter through our Bremerton Youth Shelter!

If you missed the event, you can watch a recording of a youth who participated in The Coffee Oasis youth programs, sharing her story at The Coffee Oasis 10th Annual Hope Gala:

Thanks to the generous contributions from community partners like you, we raised $156,000 for Kitsap County Youth Programs—enough to operate our 6-bed Bremerton Youth Shelter for 6 months! And provide case management for youth, supporting them in achieving their educational, employment, housing, and personal goals.

We are deeply grateful for the outpour of generosity from the greater community. On behalf of our entire Kitsap County team, we extend our deepest thanks to our donors, sponsors, community, and friends. Thank you for caring for youth in Kitsap County!
