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. 🖤

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.

We are sad to share this news with our community.
Our dear friend Sergio was arrested by ICE this morning at a bakery while on his way to work.
He has a daughter here, has no criminal record and has been here for 25 years.
If anyone has any advice on how to help us help him, please let us know.
If he is deported he would be going back to a country where he no longer has family or friends.
It`s that time of year...
our Santa Letters are live! 💌
Deadline to drop off gifts is Friday, December 5. 🎁

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.

👏 A big thank you to our summer intern Nick! 👏
Nick spent the last six weeks supporting nearly every corner of our work—packing and delivering food, organizing donated supplies, assisting our homeless clients, and even researching medical and dental resources for those in crisis.
He showed up with heart and hustle, and we’re so grateful to have had his help.
Thank you, Nick, for your time and dedication to HCO!

Chuck, one of our bestest employees is turning 79 today!
Although we think he might be lying about his age, because he doesn’t look or act 79!!🧐🤷🏻♀️
Please join us in congratulating the Chuckster- the hardest working and kindest man we know!
Today, they cut the lawns of mansions in the Hamptons.
Tonight, they’ll sleep in the woods.
These men keep the Hamptons running—landscaping estates, trimming hedges, cleaning up after storms. But when the workday ends, many return to tents hidden in the woods, with no shelter from the heat, no access to clean water, and no guarantee of safety.
They take care of the Hamptons.
Can you help us take care of them?

In the middle of a summer full of challenges, you gave these kids something rare — a carefree night at the carnival.
For families who are barely covering rent and groceries, this kind of joy is out of reach. But because of your donations, every ticket, every ride, every game was covered.
For one night, they didn’t have to think about what they didn’t have — they just got to be kids.
💛 Thank you for making it happen.

He’s been making a two-hour commute every day just to stock grocery shelves—while also caring for his elderly mother and barely keeping up with bills.
He wants more out of life, and we’re going to help him get there. Last week, we gave him a new laptop so he can start taking online classes and begin building a new path forward.
Huge thanks to @geekhampton for offering a discount on the laptop. Together, we can help people make real progress—one step at a time.

He was being recognized for his leadership—but didn’t have anything to wear to the ceremony. We gave him a gift card to purchase a suit that he loved so he could show up feeling proud of what he has accomplished.
This is the kind of support we offer—quiet, specific, human. It doesn’t change the bigger systems working against these kids, but it helps them feel seen in the moments that matter.
Help us do more of this. Donate at hamptonscommunityoutreach.org or via the link in our bio.
Three families in our community were stuck—unable to get to work, to medical appointments, or to school drop-offs—because they didn’t have a reliable car.
Thanks to one generous donor, we were able to purchase three vehicles to help change that. This won’t fix every challenge they face, but it gets them one step closer to stability.
Your support makes this kind of direct impact possible. Donate to our Crisis Care program at the link in bio.
