A local youth baseball team decided to give back to the community this Christmas by donating items to the local Oasis shelter.
Instead of giving gifts to each other for their Christmas part, the ODC 11U Mavericks travel baseball team brought donations of clothes, toys, toiletries, and other gifts.
Players on the team include Gatlin Lindsey, Myles Babbs, Hunter Ostria, Elliot Blackburn, Travis Kessinger, Carter Russell, Jaxon Underhill, Jaxton Scott, JT Stokes, and Parker Geary. Coaches include Tony Ostria, Rob Russell, and Scott Lindsey.
OASIS women’s shelter is a Domestic Violence Program for battered women and their dependent children. OASIS addresses the unique needs of victims of domestic violence trapped in the cycle of violence.
Located in Owensboro, Kentucky, and built on the “Empowerment Model”, OASIS provides a safe place for women and their children to escape the trauma and devastation of domestic violence.
Owensboro Times does not disclose the location of the facility in order to help protect the women and children there. Anyone needing services there, or anyone interested in donating to the shelter, can call 270-685-0260.
