Operation Opening Doors

Operation Opening Doors is a national program of AGC Charities, Inc., designed to provide home remodeling services to those suffering from disabilities incurred through service to our country or unforeseen disasters.

Operation Opening Doors leverages the support and expertise of AGC Chapters, members and partners, along with local communities, to help those in need achieve the highest possible level of independence and comfort in their daily lives.

From installing a wheelchair ramp and widening doorways to retrofitting an entire home for handicap accessibility, Operation Opening Doors plays an important role in helping the disabled and their families regain the quality of life they had before.

Current Project

We recently completed our 2024 Annual Operation Opening Doors project in San Diego. For this year’s event, AGC Charities teamed up with Make-A-Wish San Diego and local AGC member, Sierra Pacific West to help build sheds in the backyard which will create a safe environment for them to play and grow while living with their illnesses.

Our next project will take place in April 2025 in Columbus, Ohio. We are working to identify a project and volunteer opportunity for AGC members during the 2025 Annual Convention.
