“Connecting Veterans and Caregivers to resources earned, while Empowering Veterans to utilize those resources to Transform their lives.”

Who We Are

Welcome to Operation Veteran and Caregiver Support!
We are a growing 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in the northern Miami Valley of Ohio. We serve active duty military, National Guard, veterans, caregivers, and their families—both locally and across the country—by connecting them with the resources they’ve earned through their service.

We’re here to transform lives, one service member, veteran, caregiver, and family at a time.

What Do We Do?

Events that Build Community

We’re best known for our Muster & Mingle events—twice-monthly gatherings where veterans and their families come together. Each Muster & Mingle is a little different — you might hear from a speaker, join a group activity, or help with a community project. What all our Muster & Mingle events share, however, is a great meal shared with in the company of those who understand you best, your fellow veterans and their families.

In addition to these regular meetups, we host four major family-friendly events each year:

• 🐣 Easter Bunny Breakfast & Egg Hunt in partnership with VFW Post 4874 Auxiliary (March/April)
• 🎣 Military & Veteran Kids Fun Day (June)
• 🎒 School Supply Giveaway at WACO Air Museum in Troy, OH (August)
• 🎅 Santa’s Sweet Shop at the TippCenter – treats, crafts, and time with Santa (December)

Each event is designed to create joy, build bonds, and make our veteran community feel truly seen and supported.

We work one-on-one with veterans, caregivers, and their families to ensure that every veteran—regardless of when they served or their discharge status—is treated with dignity and respect.

While we are not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or any county-level Veteran Service Office (VSO), we proudly collaborate with these offices and other community partners to improve the lives of those who’ve served.

We do not process VA claims and do not employ a certified Veteran Service Officer. However, we are happy to help connect you with a trusted and qualified VSO who can assist you with your specific needs.

We believe in breaking down barriers—not creating them—and welcome all who have served, without bias or exception.

In 2023 we launched a Military and Veteran Food Pantry, open Thursdays from 10:00am-1:00pm. This pantry is need based, where those in need simply show proof of veteran status and proof of address.
