About
Operation Ground Support (OGS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to serving our neighbors in Dallas.
Our history
We began in June 2025 as a medical support group, organized to provide support on the ground to doctors treating people with heat exhaustion. It was there that we began to realize the plight of the unhoused. There are many implications of being homeless or just food insecure, that most people are completely unaware of. There are many who are living out of their car, who have many logistical difficulties that you would never think about unless hearing about it. There are many struggling families who would be greatly helped by organized food boxes with plenty of healthy foods. Thus we began branching out.
