our history

Operation Home was founded in 1997 with a simple belief: neighbors should help neighbors.

What began as a grassroots effort to support local families quickly grew as more people across the community stepped forward to help. Volunteers, donors, businesses, and community partners came together around a shared purpose: ensuring that our neighbors could live safely and independently in the homes they love.

Over the years, Operation Home has expanded its work throughout the Lowcountry through critical home repairs, wheelchair ramps, and seasonal heat and cold relief. While our programs have grown, the heart of our mission has remained the same.

Nearly 30 years later, every repaired roof, accessible bathroom, wheelchair ramp, heater, and air conditioner reflects the generosity of a community committed to caring for its neighbors. With your continued support, we can reach more families throughout the Tricounty community and help ensure that more of our neighbors have a safe place to call home.

This is what we mean when we say: Repairing Homes. Restoring Hope.
