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.

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.
December is a busy month in the Hamptons — lights go up, houses fill, and celebrations start.
But the need here doesn’t slow down. Many of our neighbors are heading into winter without safe housing, reliable heat, or anywhere warm to go.
We’ll be out in the community all month making sure people have what they need to get through the colder weeks ahead. If you’re able to help, the link in our bio is the easiest way to support that work.
A grandmother in a multigenerational household recently had a fall and hasn’t been able to work. Their SNAP benefits also didn’t come in, and things got tight fast.
They reached out and asked if we could help with food. Because of the donations we’ve received, we were able to get groceries to the family.
If you want to help with food support, you can donate through the link in our bio or DM us to sign up to shop for a family in need.
Join us next Saturday for a Christmas Slime Party! 🧑🎄❤️

When: Saturday December 13, 11am - 12pm
Where: Southampton Methodist Church: 160 Main St., Southampton
Cost: $40 donation - Proceeds will help support our home repair program🏡
We want to thank Hamptons United Methodist Church for their generous donation! They always show up when our community is struggling.
Thank you for being such a strong partner to the families we serve! 🙏
Cold weather makes an already hard situation even harder. Many of our unhoused neighbors try to warm up anywhere they can — places like Panera or McDonald’s where they can sit for a bit and get something to eat.
Because of your support, we were able to give out 12 gift cards to people who are struggling right now. Thank you for caring about the people who are too often unseen.
It’s Giving Tuesday, and the need doesn’t slow down in the Hamptons.
We’re hearing from families who lost hours at work, missed SNAP benefits, or are living in homes they can’t safely heat. None of this pauses for the holidays.
If you’re able to give today, your support helps us keep families fed, warm, and steady during a really difficult season.
Donate at the link in our bio.
Grateful for a community that shows up! Thank you so much for your food and financial donations that enabled us to feed our neighbors in need!🙏
Thank you so much to Eric and Sharone Komoroff and Sean Naughton, owners of @BarryvilleGeneral for your donation of 7 truck loads of food! Your neighbors in need have received your food and are so enormously grateful!
Save the date for our 3rd Annual HCO Love Fest! Saturday, February 7 from 5–7PM. 230 Elm Street, Southampton. Tickets are available at the link in our bio. Please come and help support our struggling neighbors!
WE ARE LOOKING FOR CORPORATE SPONSORS!

REPOST: Ironically, it all started with the Girl Scouts. When Marit Molin couldn’t find a scout troop for her daughter on the east end, she started her own. Now, many years later, she is the ultimate girl scout. Marit’s organization is called Hamptons Community Outreach. Their mission is simple. If someone in our community needs something, Marit and her team find a way to fill the need. Sometimes it’s fixing a roof, or a floor, or a heating system. Sometimes it’s finding housing to begin with. It’s always about providing food— her operation handles 20 tons of food at a time and distributes it to those who need it. More and more, it’s helping young people get the resources they need to succeed in school— things like tutoring, supplies, college counseling and the like. It’s shocking to many of us how much need there is in this community, particularly with the backdrop of so much abundance and even excess. But the need is there, and Marit, her organization and their volunteers, are there to help bridge the gap. Her story is amazing, but what she manages to do, and how much she and her group provide is nothing short of fascinating. So tune in and hear her story of starting a girl scout troop, and becoming a grown up girl scout gone nuclear
We provide college counseling to high school students in need. This is one way in which we change life trajectories.
Last week a local 17 year old boy met with a college counselor for the first time. His mom checked in to say how relieved they are to have the support and that her son is so excited about going to college!
The sudden SNAP outage left many local families without a way to buy food.
Thanks to our donors, we were able to purchase 400 @stopandshop gift cards to help our neighbors.
Thank you again to our donors for allowing us to respond to the need so quickly!
A reminder that kids feel the weight of affordability, too.
When all your friends have something and you’ve only ever had hand-me-downs, asking for help takes courage. No child should feel left out because of cost — and no family should have to stretch their budget for basic winter gear. 💙
DM us to help.
Hunger in the Hamptons is real.
Families working full-time still can’t afford groceries, and many elderly quietly go without.
Each week, we deliver 4,000 lbs of food to neighbors who would otherwise go hungry.
Your donation keeps that work going — one bag, one family at a time. 🖤
Donate today. [link in bio]
A local family facing financial hardship recently reached out for help feeding and caring for their dog. They’re doing their best to get back on their feet, but even the most loyal companions come with costs that can feel impossible when money runs short.
Thanks to an anonymous donor, we were able to provide food and supplies to keep this family together — and to remind them they’re not alone.
At Hamptons Community Outreach, we see these quiet needs every day. It’s not just about hunger or housing — it’s about dignity, stability, and holding on through the hardest chapters.

Federal delays in SNAP benefits are hitting families across New York — including here on the East End. Many of our neighbors depend on these funds to buy groceries, and even a short gap means immediate hardship.
While we wait for federal benefits to resume, Hamptons Community Outreach is stepping in to keep families fed.
If you’re a SNAP recipient, your EBT card still works, but new November funds won’t be issued until the shutdown ends.
➡️ Visit @nysotda or otda.ny.gov for updates.
➡️ If you need food right now, call 211, or reach out through our website.
➡️ If you can give, please do. Every dollar fills a fridge this week.

We are hearing from lots of our neighbors right now.
SNAP benefits are not guaranteed for November, and families are scared.
Every dollar you donate helps put food on the table today. Please donate at the link in bio or share this post ❤️

Last week, we hosted a homeless shower event at the Southampton Long Island Hotel. Our unhoused neighbors were able to take showers, get haircuts, see a nurse, and pick up food, clothing, and shoes.
These moments of care may seem small, but for people living without shelter, they mean comfort, dignity, and a brief break from survival mode.
If you’d like to help fund a future shower event — or cover the cost of a night indoors for someone who has nowhere else to go — please donate through the link in our bio. Every contribution makes a difference.
The “Harbor Helpers” in Sag Harbor assembled 70 bags of candy for our upcoming Halloween party.
Their effort reminds us how much this community can do when we come together — even a simple bag of candy can mean a lot to a child who’s been through too much.
Thank you for helping make this season a little brighter. 🎃
In the Hamptons, food often means abundance — long dinners, stocked fridges, overflowing tables.
But for many of our neighbors, it means something else entirely: relief.
A place where some wonder what to cook next… and others wonder if they’ll eat tonight.
Where produce deliveries mean dignity, and a full pantry is a rare comfort.
This is what a meal means in the Hidden Hamptons.

Our friends at Shinnecock are stepping up to help us raise critical funds for families in need. Please join and show your support this Saturday.
Out here, it really does take a village—and every effort matters.
🍁 Join us Saturday, October 25, 10AM - 2PM at The Powwow Grounds!
Thank you to @gen.de.relevo for donating clothing to local kids in need. For families already stretched thin, things like warm jackets or a pair of shoes that actually fit can feel out of reach.
These moments — a child picking out something new, feeling seen, feeling cared for — matter more than most of us realize. We’re grateful for every person who helps make that possible.
As the crowds leave and the air turns cold, the Hamptons change — but the need doesn’t.
For many of our neighbors, fall means fewer jobs, higher heating bills, and growing uncertainty about what winter will bring.
While summer homes sit empty, others are bracing for nights without heat. While restaurant patios close, we’re delivering groceries, warm coats, and blankets to those living on the edge.
This is still the Hidden Hamptons.

This home was falling apart—unsafe spaces, rotting structures, and no proper place for family members to sleep. Thanks to our donors, we were able to step in and make urgent repairs, creating safe bedrooms, a working kitchen, and a stable environment for a family that has been through so much.
The need is overwhelming, and so many more families are still waiting. But every project like this brings relief, dignity, and hope.
After leaving a domestic violence situation, Laura was ready to rebuild her life—but without transportation, steady work was out of reach.
Thanks to our donors, we were able to provide her with a used vehicle. Now she can get to her job and take steps toward a safer, more stable future.
Your support makes stories like Laura’s possible. If you’d like to help more neighbors access critical needs like transportation, please consider donating through the link in our bio.
One of our clients just received an e-bike so he can travel from Southampton to Sagaponack for work every day 🙏.
Transportation is one of the biggest barriers people here face—without it, steady employment can be impossible.
Last week, we hosted another mobile shower event for our homeless neighbors. Along with hot showers, we provided clean clothing, food, medical care, and haircuts.
These services don’t fix the larger crisis of homelessness on the East End, but they do offer relief, dignity, and a reminder that people care.
Thank you to our donors for making this possible. Your support helps us keep showing up for those living on the margins of our community.
This week we’re recognizing Michel as our Volunteer of the Week.
In just two months, he’s become an incredible asset to HCO—helping with Art Camp breakdown, assembling furniture, sorting and transporting donated items, and packing food for families. No matter the task, Michel never says no when extra hands are needed.
Volunteers like Michel make it possible for us to keep showing up for our neighbors in need. Thank you, Michel, for stepping up again and again.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we were able to step in for a local family facing illness, loss, and financial strain. Together, we turned unsafe spaces into bedrooms, repaired broken areas of the home, and gave this family a more stable place to live.
This is just one example of what your support makes possible. Stay tuned next week as we share more of this project’s incredible before-and-after transformation.
A local school reached out and asked if we could help spread the word about this mother and daughter’s need for a place to live. Please help if you can.
Every week, over 400 families count on us for food. And every week, we make it happen — thousands of pounds packed by hand and delivered across the East End.
It’s not flashy. It’s not easy. But it’s what survival looks like for too many of our neighbors.

Volunteer of the Week 🌟
Meet Legend, just 5 years old — and already making a real difference. He spent a full day helping unload and pack food for families in need.
Thank you, Legend, for showing up with so much energy and determination. Our community is stronger because of volunteers like you. 💪
Poverty in the Hamptons looks like this:
Families without heat.
Men living in the woods.
Mothers skipping meals so kids can eat.

We would like to thank brothers Andrew and Matthew for showing up on Tuesday mornings this summer to help people in need. Thank you so much for sorting, packing and delivering food to our neighbors! Also a special thanks to their dedicated parents, Kristen and Kevin!🙏
Healthy food is often out of reach in our community, where the cost of living is three times the national average. For parents already choosing between rent, utilities, and groceries, this kind of support makes a real difference.

A haircut might seem small. But for someone who’s been sleeping outside or working nonstop, it can mean feeling human again.
Thank you to Jazmin and Guadalupe for taking care of our neighbors at last week`s mobile shower event with skill and kindness.

Several young women from our programs are heading to college this fall—many of them first-generation students, all of them on tight budgets.
Thanks to an anonymous donor, they’ll each be sent off with a supply of pads and tampons—something many college students quietly struggle to afford.
This donation helps meet a need that often goes unspoken, but is deeply felt.
Thank you for showing up for them.

Goldman Sachs not only sponsored this event — their volunteers came out to Southampton to help pack 150 bags of food for families in need.
The reality is that many of our neighbors are working multiple jobs and still can’t afford enough food. These bags mean one less impossible choice between rent, gas, or groceries.
Thank you to Goldman Sachs for making this possible and for standing alongside our community.
Thank you Dan Toomey and @goodworkmb for featuring our founder in this recent video. We are grateful for the opportunity to shed light on the lesser-seen side of the Hamptons and the difficult living conditions that some members of our community face.
Today, our homeless neighbors received hot showers, haircuts, medical care, food, and hygiene supplies — thanks to a generous donation from someone who asked for no recognition.
To the anonymous donor who made this mobile shower event possible: thank you.
This kind of support allows us to meet people where they are and offer real, immediate relief.
