Can you help?

There are many ways to help…

Become an Outreach Sponsor

Sponsors are donors who fund 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.

Empty backpacks will be available during our winter outreach beginning in September. Filled backpacks are picked up and distributed from late November through February.  Our goal is to deliver 90% of the backpacks by December 21.

Please check out our homepage link for information on our current seasonal outreach campaign. (Contact Ray Chimileski at info@operationchillout.org for details.)

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.

Provide Legal, Medical or Mental Health Services

If you are a practicing or retired attorney, physician, nurse practitioner, EMT, or mental health counselor we need your help. We seek to link homeless veterans, families and individuals to legal and healthcare services.

Donate

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.

Endowments

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