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. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

Today, Operation Outfit and the Oregon community are honored to recognize Stephen Vamos, a Purple Heart recipient and veteran residing at The Gardens of St. Francis in Oregon, Ohio.

In recognition of his bravery, sacrifice, and service to our country, Stephen was presented with a Purple Heart Veteran hat as a small token of the gratitude he so greatly deserves.

On Purple Heart Day, we honor Stephen and all of the courageous men and women who were wounded or made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our nation.

Stephen, thank you for your service, your bravery, and your sacrifice. 🇺🇸💜

Because those who serve our country deserve dignity and recognition.

Thank you social worker Debbie for reaching out to us for this opportunity.

We recently discovered that The Blade published this story about Operation Outfit over the Fourth of July, and somehow we completely missed it.🫣

We're incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to share our mission and shine a light on the veterans living in nursing homes and other facilities.

Every veteran deserves comfort and to know that their service and sacrifices are remembered. That's why we exist.🫡

As we prepare for our largest veteran outreach to date, we're looking ahead to our October Drop at Genesis Village, where we will have the privilege of serving even more local veterans with personalized care packages made possible by our generous community.

If you have not had a chance to read the article, we'd love for you to take a look and share it with others! Thank you The Blade for helping share our mission. ❤️🤍💙

Every donation makes a direct impact. 🇺🇸

People often ask “What is in the bags” this is exactly it. Each Operation Outfit bag is filled with BRAND-NEW essentials and comfort items for veterans living in healthcare facilities.

Our standard bags may include items like:
• Clothing (shirts, pants, shorts, socks, hoodies)
• Slippers or shoes
• Comforter
• Snacks & treats
• Hygiene items
• Games, cards, or activity items
• Comfort items to brighten their day

But no two bags are exactly the same. Every veteran is different, and we do our best to personalize each bag with extra items they need, request, or would simply enjoy. Whether it’s favorite snacks, larger sizes, warmer clothing, puzzle books, or something special to make them smile, we listen and we care.

This is more than a bag. It’s dignity, comfort, and a reminder that they are remembered.

Thank you for helping us honor those who served. ❤️🤍💙
