Welcome to
Operation Caregiver
Operation Caregiver is a nationwide program operated under the
Victory Fund of the
Nice
Guys (an U.S. Federal IRS tax exempt 501(c)3 public charity)
to supply relief to our troops at the "tip-of-the-spear".
These warriors (our sons, daughters, brothers,
sisters, and spouses) live in the most primitive conditions. They live
in foxholes, tents, Humvees or some unoccupied local structures without
heating or air conditioning with temperatures ranging from sub-0° in the
winter to 128° Fahrenheit in the summer. The dust storms are Biblical in
scale. There are no fixed base facilities with creature comforts (no PX,
no chow halls, no running water (no showers or sinks or flush toilets),
no electricity), nor access to the mobile PX services. They may go
months without a shower, a hot meal and they may run out of the basics
of hygiene before re-supply is possible. It is truly a Spartan
existence.
That's where we come in. OC provides
Caregiver Kits™
(15 items of basic hygiene and comfort) to U.S. troops "far from the flagpole" (FOB's,
FOP's, COP's, Mobile Humvee bases, etc.). We mail our Kits to a command level
Sergeants Major who distributes the supplies to the troops who need them
most. It is a paradigm that has served us well since our first shipment
in 2004. OUR MISSION is to provide a pathway
whereby Americans of any means can support our
troops and thereby provide "comfort for those in harm's way." We
are non-political and non-partisan. Our only interest is in the
physical and spiritual welfare of those who our Government has chosen to
place in harm's way.
