Being Homeless Hurts, OPERATION CHILLOUT Helps.
20 Years and Counting!
Greetings!

OPERATION CHILLOUT began on December 21, 2000 when our founders reached out to help a homeless veteran in crisis. Since that day, our all-volunteer mission has never wavered. Starting from a single location, we now reach all of NJ, Northeast PA and coastal Rhode Island. We believe in the inherent worth of every homeless person and provide emergency supplies and survival gear to the most vulnerable members of our communities, wherever we encounter them "No Borders - No Boundaries". As we celebrate our 20th Anniversary, we remember all those we have helped through the years as well as those who have supported our mission. If all those we served could come together and hold hands, the line would reach 22 miles long!
Winter Outreach 2020 Update
OPERATION CHILLOUT thanks our donors for supporting the virtual Winter Gear Backpack Drive! The pandemic has greatly impacted the homeless community and our mission at OCO.
With your help, we met our delivery goals of backpacks filled with warm clothing, hats, gloves and face masks for homeless veterans, men, and women.

The OCO 24 Hour Rescue Hotline and Emergency Supplies Fund continue to provide homeless veteran support all year long. Please visit our website at www.OperationChillout.org to learn more.
NJGFWC Partnership
New Jersey State Federation of Women's Clubs, the largest volunteer women’s service organization in the state, has partnered with OPERATION CHILLOUT for their special State Project 2020-22. NJGFWC members support many OCO seasonal projects throughout the year. They currently have several initiatives designed to support the OCO Rapid Response Team, including a collection of $10 gift cards. We cannot thank them enough for the many ways they support our mission to serve the homeless community in NJ and beyond.
