Become an Outreach Sponsor

Sponsors host collection sites to provide specific items for our seasonal outreach. In the summer, we collect cases of bottled water, t-shirts, and caps.  In the winter, we need warm clothing for Winter Gear Backpacks.  Each year, local businesses, community groups, churches, schools run collection sites.  Empty backpacks, tags and flyers will be available during our winter outreach beginning in September.  Filled backpacks are picked up and distributed from late November through February.  Some locations collect specific items such as new socks, hats or hoodies.  Everything helps!  Our goal is to deliver 75% of the backpacks by December 21st.


Please reach out to nadine@operationchillout.org if you're interested in participating.

Be a Guardian Angel - Sponsor a Location

The homeless people we serve have individual needs and each outreach location is different. Some need outdoor survival gear. Others need new work clothes for their jobs. Individuals and business organizations can sponsor a specific outreach location, city or population.

Financial Assistance

Donate to help us to meet the needs of homeless people in shelters, at soup kitchens and on the street. Any amount you can afford helps.

You can endow our efforts on an on-going monthly basis to fund the OCO Rapid Response Team with homeless veteran rescues.

Matching grants, your matching dollars multiply the amount we receive in small donations and enable us to serve more individuals and families at risk.

PLEASE NOTE

We cannot accept used clothing, household items or furniture. We suggest you contact Vietnam Veterans of America to arrange a pick up your used clothing items.
