Scotch Plains Teen Youth Group Helping Area Homeless-Oasis Church

Looking for a Scotch Plains area youth group for your kids?  ReCharge, Oasis-Church-NJ.com teen youth group, is teaming up this November with non-profit Family Promise and area churches like the United Methodist Church to help shelter the homeless need in our area.  According to Kathy Avens, Oasis Youth Group Minister,  ReCharge will be cooking dinners for a number of families that will be sheltering at the United Methodist Church in Scotch Plains.   Other responsibilities will include serving, playing with the kids, and cleanup on those nights.
