We are committed to ensuring that no person must live in a home that is inaccessible or unsafe.
Staff
Miriam Langley
Executive Director
Miriam joined Operation Home in March of 2016. She came to Operation Home after 10 years of working with the Lowcountry Food Bank as their VP of Development and Communications. Miriam believes that Tricounty families should not have to choose between living in a home in need of critical repair, and often hazardous to their health, and having no home at all. She is confident that through community support, Operation Home can bring hope to more people in need. Under Miriam’s leadership, Operation Home remains focused on serving households with children, seniors and the disabled.
