Three years ago, a father on the Shinnecock Reservation invited Marit to see how he and his son were living.
No heat. Black mold. Collapsing ceilings.
It wasn’t just one home. It was many. And it still is.
This is why housing is at the center of our work—and why your support matters.
🎥 Watch this clip from Marit’s speech.
🧡 Then donate to help us repair more homes: [link in bio]

Access to basic hygiene shouldn’t be a luxury.
At our recent mobile shower event, dozens of unhoused neighbors were able to shower, get a haircut, see a doctor, and pick up clean clothes, shoes, and food.

We kicked off our 8th summer of Hamptons Art Camp last week. For six weeks in Sag Harbor, children come together to make art, play games, and enjoy some freedom and creativity that’s hard to come by for families stretched thin.
What began as a small art program in 2018 has grown into a lifeline for many—offering underserved kids a place to just be kids. Half of all camp spots are reserved for children who attend tuition-free.
We still have space available later this summer. If you know a child who could benefit, reach out. If you believe every child deserves joy, play, and a little color in their lives—help us spread the word.

Behind every packed grocery bag is a scramble for enough food, enough gas, enough hands to get it where it needs to go. Every week, we deliver meals to more than 400 families across the East End.
This is what local hunger relief really looks like. It’s exhausting. It’s urgent. And it’s happening in one of the wealthiest places in America.
We can’t fix a broken system. But we can make sure people don’t go hungry today.

Some kids grow up knowing prom is a given. Others aren’t sure they’ll be able to afford it at all.
Thanks to our donors, we were able to send 30 students to prom this year—covering tickets, hair, makeup, and gift cards. It didn’t erase the struggles they face, but it gave them one night to feel like everyone else.
Special thanks to @covetbeautyco and Jaylyniesha for generously donating hair and makeup services. You helped make this night possible.
#HamptonsCommunityOutreach #Prom2025 #EquityInAction #SupportLocalYouth
In 1978, Southampton High School’s Black and Native American seniors weren’t allowed upstairs at their prom venue—they were told to stay in the basement. 45 years later, we hosted the prom they deserved, in the very same upstairs room they were once denied.
This celebration couldn’t erase decades of pain and discrimination, but it offered a moment of healing and recognition. At HCO, we confront the difficult realities of our community’s past while working toward a more equitable future.
The struggles of marginalized communities in the Hamptons continue daily. While we celebrate moments like these, we recognize that systemic challenges remain. Join us in addressing both immediate needs and long-term inequities.

Summer in the Hamptons means parties, houseguests, and packed beaches. But for the families we serve, it’s also the season when costs skyrocket and survival gets even harder.
While some homes sit empty, others house four people in a single room. While some sip cocktails poolside, we’re delivering groceries to seniors who can’t leave their homes.
This is the Hidden Hamptons.

Last chance.
Our $250,000 matching grant ends June 30. That means whatever you give—$25, $250, $2,500—gets doubled.
This isn’t just a fundraising push. This is about keeping food on tables, heat in homes, and families out of crisis.
We’ve seen what happens when help arrives in time. And we’ve seen what happens when it doesn’t.

One of our clients was trying to hold down a job—but without a phone, he couldn’t call his employer. He couldn’t reach his family either.
Thanks to our donors, we were able to change that.
A phone might seem small—but for someone living on the margins, it can mean everything.

Her car was totaled. She had no way to get to work, no way to take her kids to school, and no way to afford another vehicle. We stepped in because transportation was the one thing standing between survival and collapse.
This is what crisis care looks like. Meeting people where they are and helping them take one step forward, even when the road ahead is still hard.

We just received an $18,000 check for Hamptons Art Camp—a rare moment of relief in the ongoing scramble to give local kids a safe, creative space each summer.
This support means more children from working-class and immigrant families will have a place to go—off the backseat of their parents’ cars and into a program built for joy, learning, and belonging.

Living in the woods in the Hamptons is more common than most people realize.

Every spring, we meet seniors who can’t afford a yearbook.
For many students, it’s more than just photos — it’s proof they made it. That they belonged. That they were part of something.

Every month this summer, we’ll host mobile shower events for our homeless clients—neighbors who are living in the woods, in their cars, or on the edge of housing insecurity.
These events provide more than hygiene—they offer a rare moment of dignity and relief.
We’re looking for local sponsors to help make this possible. If you or your business are able to partner with us, please reach out. There’s no luxury in basic care—but there is humanity in providing it.
DM us or email info@hamptonscommunityoutreach.com to learn more.
Exciting News To Share!
Hamptons Community Outreach has been awarded a $250,000 matching grant.
This means every donation we receive will be matched — dollar for dollar — up to $250,000 until June 30.
Your gift today will have double the impact in supporting our work. Together, we can reach twice as many families, rebuild twice as many homes, and offer twice as much hope.
Click the link in our bio to donate. Thank you for believing in our mission to help our struggling neighbors.
Last Friday, we brought mobile showers, hot meals, haircuts, hygiene kits, and clean clothes to homeless men living outside in the Hamptons — all during a cold, relentless rain.
This wasn’t easy work. But it was necessary.
And it was only possible thanks to our partners — especially Joanne Comber Jimenez and Hamptons Pony — whose fundraising made it possible to offer not just basic dignity, but a few moments of comfort and care. And to Anna Salsedo and Stony Brook Medicine who generously donated their time and special skills.
There is so much more to do. But this day mattered.

Grateful to these generous Sag Harbor girls who spent their afternoon packing 50 care bags for local moms facing serious hardship this Mother’s Day. These moments matter—and they happen thanks to community members like @fishershomefurnishings who quietly show up again and again.

Thank you to our amazing donors for donating Easter baskets to children in need. We truly appreciate your generosity and kindness!🐰🐣
Hamptons Art Camp registration is now open for Summer 2025. For many local families, this represents their children`s only structured summer opportunity while parents work multiple jobs to make ends meet. While the Hamptons is known for luxury, 30% of our population struggles with poverty.
Each $500 sponsorship provides a full week of camp for a child who would otherwise go without. For another $60 you can provide a camper with lunch.
Your support doesn`t just offer creative experiences—it provides crucial educational continuity for students already facing achievement gaps.
Join us in bridging the opportunity divide. Register your child or sponsor a local child today at the link in our bio.
Donate your jewelry and join us at our Spring Earring Extravaganza on April 26th (12-6pm) at Southampton United Methodist Church. We`re collecting gently-used jewelry now to benefit families facing housing insecurity, food shortages, and emergency needs in our community. Your donations will fund critical home repairs on the Shinnecock Reservation and throughout the Hamptons. DM us for jewelry drop-off details.
While a basket of treats won`t solve the systemic challenges facing our local families in need, these Easter baskets provide a moment of normalcy for children who rarely experience the simple joys many take for granted. Our volunteers are working to assemble 100 baskets for families who struggle daily with housing insecurity, food scarcity, and limited resources.
Two easy ways YOU can help:
🌷 Order a pre-made basket through our Amazon wishlist (link in bio).
🌷 Drop off your own basket at 514 N. Main Street, Southampton.
Please ensure all baskets are delivered by Good Friday, April 18th (that`s this week!).
Help us bring a small bright spot to their challenging circumstances.
