Dallas, Texas
The bridge between need and what's already there to meet it.
Operation Ground Support (OGS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to serving our neighbors in Dallas. We support partners with community hubs across Dallas to deliver zero-barrier direct relief, lead collaborative homelessness summits, and build holistic stabilization, for our unhoused and food-insecure neighbors.

How the bridge works
Dallas already has food, clothing, space, and people who care. We make sure it reaches the neighbors who need it.

What We Do
Eight ways we bridge the gap
Food Bank Referrals
We connect people facing hunger directly to food banks and pantries near them, cutting through confusion about what's available.
Referral network
Community Meal Prep
We accept excess produce, surplus catering, and other perishable food donations from local businesses, farms, and events, that would otherwise go to waste. Our volunteers turn this into prepared meals that go straight to people who need them.
Food rescue and preparation
Homelessness Summits
We host summits that bring together service providers, city agencies, and neighbors to confront homelessness in Dallas head-on, and coordinate long term solutions.
Convening and coordination
Clothing Distribution
Donated clothing is sorted and distributed to individuals and families who need it, with a focus on dignity and choice.
Direct service
Community Feeding Events
Regular events put warm meals directly into the hands of people in our community, without paperwork or barriers.
Direct service
Stocking Local Pantries
We keep food pantries supplied so their staff and volunteers can stay focused on the ground.
Supply
EETZ Food Rescue App
