Donation Today

Donating to the Ocean State Disaster Team (OSDT) provides a critical lifeline to local families in Rhode Island and Massachusetts who have been upended by unforeseen disasters, particularly house fires. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2023, OSDT steps in during the immediate, chaotic aftermath of a crisis to provide essential, tangible support that helps individuals and families navigate their first steps toward recovery.

The primary mission of the Ocean State Disaster Team is to alleviate the immediate suffering of those who have lost their homes and belongings. When a family is displaced, often with little more than the clothes on their backs, OSDT offers a rapid response to meet their most basic needs. This includes providing vital supplies such as food, clothing, toiletries, and small household items. Recognizing that pets are often beloved family members, the organization also extends its support to include pet food.

Headquartered in Cumberland, Rhode Island, this volunteer-driven organization is rooted in the community it serves. By focusing on direct aid, donations to OSDT have an immediate and tangible impact. Financial contributions are used to purchase and replenish the essential supplies that are distributed to families in crisis.

While the organization is relatively new, its commitment to assisting neighbors in their time of greatest need is clear. By donating to the Ocean State Disaster Team, you are directly contributing to a grassroots effort that provides comfort and practical help to those facing the devastating loss of their homes and possessions. Your support ensures that when disaster strikes a local family, a dedicated team is ready to respond with the resources they so desperately need.

For those looking to contribute, the Ocean State Disaster Team offers opportunities for both financial donations and in-kind contributions of needed items. Further information on how to support their mission can be found on their website and their volunteer page on platforms such as VolunteerMatch.
