What We Do
At Operation Chillout, we offer a range of services to help homeless veterans get back on their feet and transition to a stable and secure life. Some of our key services include:
Winter Homeless
Outreach
Each year the winter outreach project makes deliveries to locations where homeless people gather. Operation Chillout prepares a backpack for a man or woman filled with warm clothing. They are delivered free of charge.
Check our donations page in the fall for our on-line winter outreach campaign.
Summer Water
Campaign
We collect and deliver cases of life-saving bottled water, T-shirts and baseball caps to homeless veterans, men and women in the hot months of the summer.
​
Go to our donations page to support the summer campaign. This outreach begins Memorial Day and ends Labor Day.

Our hotline receives and responds to referrals of homeless veterans 24/7/365.
