What is Operation Open Arms?
OOA is a network of sponsors who extend free benefits and
services in a wide range of categories. Without our sponsor-heroes, there
is no OOA.
It is the responsibility and duty of each
OOA serviceman\woman to contact the individual sponsor for the
service they are interested in.
Operation Open Arms is not an entitlement
program. Our community sponsors extend benefits from the goodness of their
heart. US Serviceman and women should treat our sponsors with the
same dignity and respect associated with meeting your first Drill
Instructor.
Operation Open Arms has been designated a 501(c)(3 )
charity by the IRS and all donations are tax deductible
How do I use OOA?
Operation is
self administering. There is no OOA staff to make arrangements on your
behalf. If for some reason you encounter difficulty during your
visit, please contact the Founder of Operation Open Arms at
(239)-283-8838. His name is Capt John "GiddyUp" Bunch.
Operation Open Arms is proud to host you. Our sponsors
enjoy hero status. We shall endevor to make your visit the best it can
be.
