What Makes HCO Different?

OUR APPROACH IS PERSONALIZED

Poverty is personal, not one-size-fits-all. HCO identifies the root cause or fundamental need in a client’s situation, and problem-solves to create real, long-lasting impact.

WE MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE

HCO is agile and mobile; we bring services directly to underserved people and communities to meet their needs.

WE CREATE TRANSFORMATIVE OPPORTUNITIES

HCO promotes the well-being, dignity, creativity, and education of all people in our community, and provides life-changing experiences that would otherwise be out of reach.

WE MOBILIZE OUR COMMUNITY

HCO educates and inspires our neighbors, supporters, and local companies, to come together to amplify our impact and strengthen our community.

Thank you to everyone who donated so our homeless neighbors could stay in motel rooms during the snowstorm.

It was cold. It was dangerous.
Because of you, they were inside.

So grateful to our donors who made this possible. 🙏
Thank you to everyone for your generosity.
Luis’s family in Guatemala has asked us to share their gratitude. They are so touched by your support and kindness. We greatly appreciate our caring community.

Luis’s family in Guatemala is wondering if we can help with transportation for him to be returned home so that they can say goodbye. We are fundraising to pay whatever we can of the total cost of the casket and the transportation to Guatemala which is $7500.

There are families in the Hamptons who live paycheck to paycheck.

Many are working, but the cost of living here is extremely high. We receive calls every day from parents who are worried about how they will feed their children.

Hamptons Community Outreach began as a summer camp. We quickly added a food program because so many families were struggling.

Today, we deliver fresh produce and groceries to 250 families every week.

Our volunteers work in freezing temperatures to make sure our neighbors have enough to eat.

We could not do this work without our donors and volunteers. We are deeply grateful for their support.

Yesterday we brought people in from the woods before the snowstorm. Motel rooms save lives in weather like this. We want to thank all of our donors for your incredible generosity and kindness. You make this work possible! 🙌🏻❤️

Thank you to everyone who helped provide winter coats and boots to our homeless neighbors.

We are so grateful for your support!
Thank you to everyone who supported children in our community with winter clothing this year.

For many families, winter is another layer of stress: coats that don’t fit, shoes that wear out, kids trying to focus in school while cold. 

Because of your support, kids were able to stay warmer, more comfortable, and a little more confident this winter. We’re so grateful!
We have a lot of new followers.
If you’re new here - welcome!
This is the work we do every day.

Thank you to @27east / The Southampton Press and reporter Cailin Riley for telling this story and help shine a light on a reality that’s often ignored in the Hamptons. 
We really appreciate the coverage and everyone’s support.
In need of space this Tuesday, please help!🙏
We help families when food runs out.
We repair homes that aren’t safe to live in.
We step in during emergencies—before a crisis becomes permanent.
This is the work. Every week. All year.
Last week, our founder Marit Molin was the guest speaker at the Southampton Lion’s club meeting. They were our first donor back in 2018 when we were a summer camp. And they have supported us every year since then!

Thank you so much for believing in us!
We are thankful for your support!
Thank you so much to the Ross School Community Service Commitee for collecting warm clothing for homeless people in the Hamptons. Your kindness and support are going to make many of our neighbors in need feel warm and cared for. We deeply appreciate your support!
Yesterday, a woman with advanced stage cancer reached out. She was snowed in & was almost out of oil & could not get a fuel delivery because of the snow. Jonathan & crew from legardenlandscaping showed up to help!

We received this message from the woman who was helped.

“I can’t even express how deeply grateful I am to you and these amazing guys who came to dig me out - it was very frightening to be snowed in like this, especially with my cancer and living alone. I was able to get to my doctors’s appointment yesterday. And now I will also be able to get oil for my heat. Thank you so much!”

Thank you legardenlandscaping for being such good neighbors!🙏

Since 2021 HCO has renovated/repaired 70 houses and built 4 new houses for families in need and we are working on four more!
What some people don’t know is with the seasonality of work and the high cost of living in the Hamptons, people struggle to find a place to live in the off season. This is why we find people living in the woods. Today we started canvassing  the woods early and got people out of the snow and into a nearby motel where they got to have a warm shower, meal, and bed. Thank you to our donors for caring about the “other” Hamptons and the people the world often forgets. None of this happens without you. #hamptonscommunityoutreach
We are getting people out of the woods and into a motel. Please help if you can!

When temperatures drop, we step in to get people indoors as quickly as possible. Motel rooms are temporary. They don’t fix the housing crisis. But in freezing weather, they can prevent serious harm.

Thank you so much to Land Rover for organizing a coat drive over the holidays for families in need and also providing HCO with a corporate donation! 

Your support and generosity are so deeply appreciated.
Last week, Hamptons Pony showed up for people living without shelter on the East End.

They fundraised, packed, and delivered 40 backpacks filled with essentials:
snacks, gloves, hats, hand warmers, hygiene supplies, first aid kits, and blankets.
Then they drove throughout the Hamptons to deliver them directly to people who needed them.

We’re grateful to Hamptons Pony for the time, effort, and care they put into this work — and for choosing to act when it mattered.
Can you help? We have a food packing event this Tuesday. If you have extra @freshdirect bags, please deliver to:

This is what it looks like to show up, again and again, for people who need it most.
This year, more than 200 kids in our community wrote letters to Santa.
Because of you, every one of those letters was adopted.

You also donated gift cards for teenagers — a group that’s often overlooked, but deeply in need.

These gifts don’t erase the challenges families are facing. Many are still struggling to afford food, housing, and basic necessities.
But this support mattered. And it showed up when it counted.

Thank you to all our donors who adopted letters, donated to gift cards, or donated funds.  From all of us at HCO — thank you 🎅 🤶 ❄️ 🎁

Thank you!
This is the reality behind the season.
If you can help, please do. Link in bio.
For many families, the holidays are extremely difficult. More expenses, less work, not enough support.

This work is about basics.
Food. Warmth. Getting through the week.
Thank you for helping make that possible.
A local single parent and her 8-year-old were living in a moldy rental.
HCO built a safe and healthy home for them. Thank you to our donors who made this possible!
These front steps were shaky and unstable. Now they’re safe again. It doesn’t solve everything this family is dealing with, but it takes one worry off their list. We’re grateful to everyone who makes repairs like this possible.
