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.

Jennifer, a single mom who recently lost her husband also lost her housing and had to relocate to Hampton Bays. She and her 2 little girls had nothing for their new rental.

A broken wood stove. No other heat source. One family among many in the ‘hidden Hamptons’ where basic necessities like warmth aren’t guaranteed.

The cost of living here is 3x the national average, pushing working families into impossible choices between food, medicine, or keeping warm.
Your donation today helps us repair this heating system immediately. But more importantly, it shows this family they aren’t forgotten by their community.

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday. In the Hamptons, there are many local families who live with no heat, not enough food to eat, and struggle to afford coats for their children. You can help change that! Please click the link in bio to donate.

A Lifeline for Hungry Families 🍽️💙
In our community, some parents skip meals so their children can eat. Today, Corcoran stepped up with a $5000 donation to our food program, offering hope to these struggling families.

This generous gift means more than just food—it’s dignity for parents, full bellies for kids, and a reminder that no one stands alone in hard times.

Thank you, @thecorcorangroup, for seeing our neighbors’ silent struggles and taking action. Your $5000 will help so many underserved memors of our community.
Every Tuesday, we deliver food to families in need. One family with multiple children dreams of having a yard, but their home is surrounded by dirt. This makes keeping their house clean a constant challenge. Can you help make their dream come true? We’re looking for companies willing to donate sod to create a grassy yard for this deserving family. 

If you can help, please DM us or call (631) 488-8715. Your generosity could transform their living environment and bring joy to these children!
