Summer Outreach 2021
This has been a very busy month! Thanks to our donors, we purchased 1000 cases of water on July 1. We also made a large purchase of t-shirts and caps. Throughout July, Operation Chillout volunteers made deliveries to 40 separate locations in NJ, PA, and Rhode Island. Additional supplies were provided directly to needy individuals that we encountered along the way. OCO outreach partners are grateful for your donated supplies that provide local homeless communities with life saving water during the difficult weeks of extreme summer heat.
