Organization
Inland Oasis
Inland Oasis is a volunteer organization providing support to the LGBTQ+ Community and our Allies on the Palouse. We are a registered 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit with the IRS, so any financial contributions can be tax-deductible.
We are here to provide support to our communities through educational, social, and health programming. These services include The West Side Food Pantry, a community center, an emergency fund for those in immediate need, and social activities like drag bingo and game nights.
We are currently re-purposing an existing building into a new community center and commercial kitchen. The main community space and kitchen are coming along and will soon hold a washer & dryer, a meeting and study area, space for medical testing, and a community gathering place. Volunteers are helping make this a safe space for us to work and our community to gather.
Programs
Lily Longlegs Emergency Fund
The Lily Longlegs Emergency Fund is here to help individuals on the Palouse in immediate need. This is a one time loan to help folks recover from sudden financial hardship such as medical emergencies, an unexpected bill, or to assist with the legal costs of a name change.Please note that these funds are limited, and during the COVID-19 pandemic we have to be extra diligent in our decisions to try to distribute these funds to those most in need of emergency assistance. At this time we are unable to directly provide housing, job placement, or medical care. See Inland Oasis website to apply online.
