How We Help
HOW WE HELP
The right supplies. The right people. The right time.
When an emergency hits, knowing what people need is only the beginning. OBOG brings together identified needs, available supplies, and the people and logistics required to move help forward.
Match the Supplies
We connect each identified need with available supplies and relief resources, helping ensure the right items are ready to move where they’re needed.
Move Help Forward
We coordinate the people, places, and transportation needed to move matched supplies toward the people and communities that need them.
THE OBOG APP

ABOUT OBOG
Built to serve the needs of devastated communities and individuals.
Operation Boots on the Ground began forming in September 2024, after Hurricane Helene devastated communities across western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. Founder Ryan McClymonds felt a stirring in the back of his mind—something he couldn’t ignore. That stirring grew into a calling to go where help was needed, and to help as many people as he possibly could. What first began as a direct response to one disaster grew into a larger mission to serve communities and individuals affected by emergencies.
That mission became Operation Boots on the Ground Inc., formally incorporated in North Carolina on November 27, 2024. Today, OBOG is a veteran-led 501(c)(3) emergency disaster relief organization focused on connecting needed supplies with communities and individuals affected by emergencies.
