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.

🐰🌷 Help Bring Easter Joy to Local Children in Need! 🌷🐰

Hamptons Community Outreach is collecting Easter baskets for underserved children in our community. You can make a difference by donating a basket filled with goodies that will bring a smile to a child's face this Easter.

Two easy ways to contribute:
🌷 Order a pre-made basket through our Amazon wishlist (link in bio).

🌷 Drop off your own basket at 514 N. Main Street, Southampton.

Please ensure all baskets are delivered by Good Friday, March 29th.

Your generosity will help create a memorable Easter for local children who might otherwise go without. Let's come together as a community and spread some Easter cheer! 🐣💖
“First of all, the reason why I do this, is because my parents taught me how to help others.”
Despite her own struggles, Elizabeth’s driving force is helping others. 

Watch her inspiring story. Then support families like hers by donating today.
We believe every child deserves to be celebrated! Her wish came true with a mermaid birthday party! 💜🩵

We make sure to create special birthday parties as part of our child outreach program. Thank you for making wishes come true!  Big thank you to our volunteers @alyssabahel and the beautiful cake @lizzyslittlebakeshop.
Imagine going to bed shivering every night during winter where the temps get down to below freezing? Some families put their children to sleep in snowsuits while others huddle together to keep warm because they can’t afford to replace a broken furnace. Because of you, we were able to help this single mom and her family. We refuse to let families have one more winter in the Hamptons shivering in bed without heat.

Big Shout out to Dr. Brady for being a terrific partner to HCO. Dr. Brady makes sure to help us with our clients’ crisis calls with very difficult cases. We can’t thank him enough for being the best community partner! @jamesbradymd
Bravo! East Hampton High School Honor Society did it again! Another amazing Diaper Drive! Diapers and wipes were collected for the underserved families struggling on the East End! This is exactly what helps bridge our community together. Thank you! @nezi.crandalll  @lolagarneau  @liamfowkess & Billy Barbour! 👏
We raised $1500 from our spaghetti dinner! Thank you Shinnecock Nation and everyone who helped!
As we celebrate International Women’s Day, we honor the strength, resilience, and achievements of not only the women we serve every day, but also our founder, Marit. 

She is the driving force behind HCO and captivates every person she meets with her generous heart, creative spirit, and unstoppable attitude. Her dedication to changing lives leaves heart prints on our entire community. She is not only an empowering leader, she is the friend, mentor, and what many call the “mom” they never had. Help us celebrate Marit and all the empowering women in the world. ❤️
Let’s step up as a community and help Maria’s parents send her to Hamptons Art Camp again this summer! Link in bio to donate. No amount is too small!

It’s hard to believe that instead of playing outside, doing arts and crafts, and creating fun summer memories, many children have no choice but to sit at home all day and wait for their parents to be done working. Many families cannot afford summer camp. However, you can help create a brighter future for these children by sponsoring one to go to Hamptons Art Camp. Click link in bio to give a child the opportunity to have a memorable summer!

We recently repaired a home on the Shinnecock Territory. To pay it forward, our friends there wanted to host a fundraiser to help raise more money for emergency housing repairs.  On March 8, lunch will be served from 11-2 and dinner from 4-7 at the Shinnecock Community Center. Please come and support!🍝🍝🍝 LINK IN BIO to donate or buy a meal for an elder!
In 2018, I had an idea of a summer camp that included underserved kids. I didn’t know where to start when it came to fundraising, but I did know the SH Lions Club cared about our community so I picked up the phone and called. I told them all about my idea of starting an Art Camp in the Hamptons. I told them about what I observed at my own kitchen table with my children’s friends, and how important this was to make sure all kids had access to explore their talents in the summertime. They believed in me and wrote a $500 check! After the very first donation in history, today 40% of all campers are underserved and the Lions Club is still awarding scholarships so more children can attend each summer. Thank you Southampton Lions Club for believing in us since DAY 1.  Love, Marit ❤️
This camp offers children ages 6-12 a summer filled with exciting educational projects: drawing, painting, pottery, printmaking, cooking, planting, outdoor games and much more! Monday-Friday, 9am-3pm in Sag Harbor Village!🎨

What this video doesn’t show you is the darkness, the smell of mold and dampness, the sadness- this couldn’t be captured. He has a Kobe Bryant and other inspiring players’ sports jerseys hung on his wall. This boy has big dreams just like all other boys, but this living environment does not support his dreams. Every day matters deeply in a child’s life. If you believe this boy deserves to dream big in a safe, comfortable bedroom, please donate to this cause! Click the link in bio to contribute to our $18,000 goal- titled “boy sleeping in laundry room.” Every dollar helps us get there. No amount is too little.
We visited a home where we met a teenage girl. Her words were heartbreaking. I will never forget what she softly whispered, “When this is what you wake up to every day, you start to think it’s what you deserve.”
Why do we focus on the HOME first? Housing is the key to reducing intergenerational poverty and increasing economic mobility. You can hear the pain and desperation in this voicemail we received recently.  Please support our Home Repair Program. ❤️
Registration is now OPEN! 🎨 Click the link in bio to register your child or sponsor a child in need.  Art education helps regulate emotions, develop the ability to focus and concentrate, and reduce stress and anxiety while fueling creativity in a positive environment. All children can benefit from this, but especially children that come from families that live below the poverty line.  Sign up now!  @hamptonsartcamp

A year ago, we came together as a community to transform this child’s bedroom who was sleeping on an air mattress in a home filled with toxic black mold.  The first step out of the poverty cycle is the HOME ENVIRONMENT.  We receive crisis calls about home repair projects daily. This is such an important program of our organization. 🏠🔨❤️

A look at a typical day in the life of Marit, the founder of HCO. Many people ask how she can face struggling families every day that are filled with desperation. Marit focuses on making sure that desperation is transformed to hope and resilience. Marit and the HCO team continue to change the lives of people right here in the Hamptons because of donors like you.  Please consider donating so we can continue this work.  Link in bio. ❤️

On Saturday, our founder Marit Molin spoke at our friend Julio’s funeral. Julio, one of the homeless men that HCO helped, tragically passed away two weeks ago. He was a kind and hardworking man who came to the Hamptons to give his family a better life. 

Thank you to our donors for donating to cover the cost of the funeral and Julio’s transportation home. Without you, Julio’s friends and family would not have been able to give him a proper goodbye. Thank you❤️
