Our mission is to honor and support veterans by providing accessible, new clothing through our mobile donation program.

We aim to serve those who have served our country by meeting them where they are during their time in healthcare facilities.

Operation Outfit spent this afternoon at Genesis Village in Toledo, delivering new clothing to 40 veterans: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Ohio National Guard. 🪖🇺🇸

This was our biggest drop yet, and it challenged us in about every way a day can. More clothing to gather than ever before. More bags to pack, sort, and label by name. More moving pieces, more hands needed, and more than a few moments where we wondered how it would all come together.😮‍💨

And then it did. Watching those bags find their veterans, one name at a time, made every late night and every hurdle worth it. It paid off in the end, in smiles, in handshakes, and in a room full of veterans who knew they were thought of.

To the staff at Genesis Village: thank you for welcoming us and helping make the day run so smoothly.

To our community and our volunteers: thank you for showing up, for donating, and for believing in this mission. You are the heart of Operation Outfit.❤️🤍💙

A special in person thank you to the American Legion Post 320 in Maumee, you did not just support us from afar, you showed up today, shook hands, and helped our veterans with their bags. Veterans taking care of veterans. It meant the world.🫡

And a heartfelt thank you to Cornerstone Caregiving for volunteering alongside us today, for giving your time, your hands, and your hearts in support of our mission and our veterans.

And to the donors who made this drop possible, VFW Post 3338, Sylvania American Legion (Joseph W. Diehn Post 468), VFW Post 2898, American Legion Post 587, American Legion Adams Township Post 553, Tesco, plus multiple others along the way. Thank you for standing behind our veterans.

And to the students in Amy Booth’s class: your letters were treasured today. Watch your mailbox, the veterans have something headed back to you. 📬

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. New clothing, delivered with dignity. One veteran at a time.

What an incredible evening at the Task Force 20 Veterans Awards 2026!

We were honored to attend and had the unforgettable opportunity to meet Medal of Honor recipient Kyle Carpenter. It was truly humbling to be in the presence of someone whose courage, sacrifice, and service represent so much of what this evening was about.

A huge thank you to Task Force 20 for everything you have done over the past 10 years. Your support has reached far beyond one organization or one event, you have stood behind so many nonprofits, veterans, and families throughout our community and helped make their missions possible.

Operation Outfit is incredibly grateful to have experienced that support firsthand. We are proud to be part of a community filled with people who continue to show up for our veterans, recognize their sacrifices, and make sure they know they are never forgotten.

Congratulations to Task Force 20 on 10 years of service, impact, and dedication to our veteran community. Here’s to many more! 🇺🇸

What an incredible day!
We are so thankful to everyone who came out and supported Operation Outfit’s Car Wash for Veterans.
A special thank you to our special guest for stopping by and showing support, and to our raffle basket sponsors and donors. SouthernCare Hospice, The Gardens of St. Francis, and Amada Senior Home Care. We also greatly appreciate Chick-fil-A and Oregon Economic & Development for donating items, Tesco for allowing us to use the brushes, and Sincere Hospice for coming out, jumping in, and participating in the event. And of course, a huge thank you to Oregon Fire Department Station 41 for welcoming us and helping make this possible, especially Chief Mark, who came out on his day off to lend a hand. Seeing so many people, businesses, healthcare partners, firefighters, families, and community members come together to support local veterans is exactly what Operation Outfit is all about. We truly could not do what we do without all of you. 🇺🇸❤️🖤

Today, on International Day of Charity, I just want to take a moment to personally say thank you.

Every single act of kindness has mattered more than you probably realize.

Operation Outfit was created from a simple desire to make sure veterans in healthcare facilities know they are still seen, still valued, and still remembered. Watching this community come together around that mission has been one of the most meaningful parts of this journey for me.

There have been so many moments that have reminded me why we do this. The smiles, the handshakes, the stories, the hugs, and the gratitude from veterans who sometimes simply needed to know that someone still cared.

None of those moments happen without all of you.

So today, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for trusting Operation Outfit. Thank you for supporting this mission. Thank you for helping us continue to show up for veterans in our own communities.

I am so incredibly grateful for every person who has played a part in making Operation Outfit what it is today. ❤️🤍💙

Happy Birthday to Operation Outfit’s very own Ken Boes! 🎉

Today we celebrate not only Ken’s birthday, but also a veteran whose continued service to others has helped inspire the mission behind Operation Outfit.

Ken’s dedication to his fellow veterans, his hard work, and his commitment to making sure those who served are remembered and recognized have been an inspiration to all of us. His example is a reminder that service doesn’t end when the uniform comes off.

We are incredibly grateful for Ken, for his service to our country, and for the example he continues to set in serving the veteran community.

Happy Birthday, Ken! Thank you for your service, your dedication, and for helping inspire Operation Outfit to continue showing up for our local veterans. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
