Check Back for This Year’s Event
Mark your calendars! Come out and support CHKD and join HRCT for Touch-a-Truck 2018!
No one should go hungry.
HRCT wants to help make a difference in the life of someone less fortunate, and we need your help.
HRCT is collecting donations of non-perishable food to help the Oasis Social Ministry. Donations will feed families, the working poor, children, the elderly, those with physical or mental disabilities and our homeless.
The Oasis food pantry distributes bags of food to local residents in need every 60 days. They deliver to 96 homebound senior citizens every month. Oasis provided groceries for over 9,000 people last year.
We thank you in advance for your support! Your donation is greatly appreciated.

The Oasis Social Ministry:
“Last year Oasis distributed over 244,000 pounds of food. We are always in need of canned meats or tuna, breads, peanut butter, jelly, canned fruits, milk and cereal. Food and fund drives are at the heart of what we do. We can help you organize a food drive that will get critical food to the elderly, children and families who need it most.
Oasis has seen a huge increase in those needing food assistance. Our pantry program has increased by 91% since 2010.”
