The Government does an excellent job at getting our warriors patched up and back on their feet. OSC is able to help work with the government to get things done much quicker and without the red tape of a bureaucracy. OSC also provides assistance to our warriors long after the government’s job is completed in a way that only a non-profit organization could do.
We have less than 225,000 in salaries and our interns are funded by grants.
Although there are many ways to DONATE NOW to OSC, the preferred method is through checks or in person. This allows for 100% of your donation to go to OSC without any 3rd party fees.
Although we certainly accept gift cards, phone cards, holiday and get well cards, and other smaller items to directly give to the troops we generally do not accept bigger items. In the past we used to accept clothing, food, and other items but due to a shortage of space for OSC and the troops we no longer accept such items. If you have a special item you wish to donate please email donate@operationsecondchance.org.
