Feeding Troops and First Responders during the Holidays.
What We Do
Thanks to the men and women that proudly stand to defend our nation, we enjoy the freedom to happily celebrate our holidays with plenty of food and security. Our goal is to provide meals for those service-members and and First Responders that make it possible.
Delivering Meals
During holidays when service-members and first responders are required to man their stations, they don’t get to celebrate like we do. A warm meal to lift their spirits is the least we can do to remind them they’re in our thoughts.
Hosting Meals
Even when those that serve are home for the holidays, unfortunately getting a big dinner together isn’t always possible. O:HC also hosts dinners for service-members and their families.
Volunteer Efforts
Every year we try to reach more and more people and spread the cheer! Doing so is only possible through the efforts and kindness of people willing to chip in and make a difference.

Who We Are
One of the sacrifices that comes with their duty is the need for their stations to be manned at all times- even during holidays. Our goal is to ensure that these committed individuals are not only recognized for their tremendous efforts, but also get to enjoy those times of celebration with a warm meal.
We coordinate efforts to reach as many on-duty military and first responder personnel with delivered meals so they know they are remembered and appreciated. On top of that, we host gatherings over the holidays for service members and their families to come together and celebrate with provided food as well!
