Thank you for reaching out!

Welcome to Operation Community Outreach!  We are a local 501(c)(3) serving Garland, Rowlett, & Sasche families.  Our Mission is to help families in our community with the basic securities of Shelter, Food, Clothing.  (Community = Residents of Garland, Rowlett & Sachse)

We do not need to re-invent the wheel, so we work closely with, and support existing local programs that serve the needs of the community, gather resources to share with other non-profits and local school counselors and  seek out grants and fundraising opportunities to support the work being done in our community.

We begin new initiatives when we see a sudden and/or existing need that is not being addresses.  

Some of the ways we are involved in the community are:

• Fundraising Support for The Reindeer Project (helping over 1300 children have a great Christmas)
• Disaster Relief (Tornado's  & Covid-19)
• Donations to local food pantry
• The new H.O.M.E. initiative (walking with 1 family at a time on a journey back to secure shelter/food/clothing)
• Assistance with Rent, Utilities and other bills.  We have been busy during this Pandemic!

We appreciate your interest and are excited about your support!  There are several volunteer opportunities throughout the year.

We can only help as many people as we have funds. 

If you are in need assistance,  WE ARE SO SORRY, BUT WE ARE OUT OF FUNDS AS OF 12/14/20

Please visit: Catholic Charities;  Salvation Army;  Metrocrest Social Services;  and/or Network of Community Ministries.

H.O.M.E. (Helping Others through Mutual Efforts)

What a joy to have been able to walk with our first family through a difficult situation to security in all basic necessities (food, shelter, clothing.)

We are excited to now journey with a THIRD family in 2020!  

If OCO & the GISD geographic area pool our resources, we can make a difference--- 1 family at a time!
