Operation Dignity's mission is to assist homeless veterans, families, and other homeless persons to reach their full potential in moving towards independent living and self-sufficiency. We offer people a clean, safe, and sober environment for them to rest, recover, and find direction. Donations like yours are invaluable in enabling Operation Dignity to improve the quality of our resident's lives.

Operation Dignity serves the Bay Area by providing service-enriched emergency, transitional, and permanent housing; making homeless veterans a priority. Our organization works closely with community agencies to ensure that the needs of the clients are being met.

Currently operating six programs that include bed service-enriched transitional housing program for families with a children's service center, mobile outreach, and winter overflow shelters in partnership with the City of Oakland and Alameda County.

It is with charitable contributions, such as yours, that enable Operation Dignity to expand and improve the quality of the services provided. We look forward to Operation Dignity's future and our continued relationship with you and your family. Thank you again for your continued support.

Liz Washington has remained the charitable donation coordinator, whose efforts have helped provide tiny tots, youth (ranging in age from infants to 18 year olds) and families in a time of need, with the spirit of Christmas over the last several years.

Sincerely,

Alex McElree, Executive Director
