"Deeds, not Words."
Help us support our troops, veterans and their families.
Our Mission
Historically, Americans have shown their support to our Troops serving in times of war in many ways.
By writing letters, mailing care packages, welcome home events, or by showing support for
a deployed service member or Veteran's family, Americans have opened up their hearts, homes,
and wallets to show that they support those who serve.
Operation: Care and Comfort (OCC), our all volunteer 501(c)(3) organization,
is proud to continue this tradition of service. Our unique program allows caring Americans to
donate their time, talent, and treasure to honor those currently serving our country and those
who have served.
OCC Care Packages: We provide support and comfort to "adopted" units of deployed
U.S. military service members, serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other conflict regions. Working within
our community and through donations received from all over our country, we assemble and ship
care packages to our adopted units every month until they return home. We are currently supporting up
to 200 units on a monthly basis.

What We Have Accomplished
Since April 2003, we have
shipped over
855,000 pounds
(that's over 427 tons!)
of care packages for distribution
to Marine, Army, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard personnel that are
deployed in the conflict regions.
In addition over
600,000 pounds
(that's over 300 tons!)
have been shipped domestically on our behalf.

OCC Tickets for Troops: Working with sports teams, event
venues and season ticket holders, OCC has distributed tens of thousands
donated tickets to military families and veterans in the San Francisco
Bay area and Northern California, free of charge.
OCC Adopt a Military Family: Our program allows individuals, organizations and companies
the opportunity to anonymously "adopt" a military family throughout the year.
Operation: Care and Comfort needs your support. Donate now!
