Our Story

It is our goal to both improve the material conditions of residents impacted by the May 16 tornado while also developing a deeper capacity for stability and responsivness in the setting of future disasters and severe weather events.

314Oasis began as a fiscally sponsored program of PunchLove, LLC, co-founded by Dr. LJ Punch and his partner, Stephanie Reynolds. To sustain and continue this work, the St. Louis Resilience and Recovery Project (STLR&R) was incorporated as a stand alone 501c3 with the SOLE PURPOSE of creating a center structured to respond to and provide ongoing support for people impacted by disaster, whether it be severe weather, an outbreak of a disease, a traumatic event, or a financial crisis. STLR&R will be the new home of 314Oasis and the fiscal backbone for ongoing operations in the Resilience Center.

We need YOU to help keep the center open.
