A couple of weeks ago, Operation Lend A Hand received this thoughtful letter from the Town of Munster, Indiana, thanking us for our disaster relief efforts and the breakfast meals we provided.

This is what community is all about showing up for one another during difficult times. A warm meal, a friendly face, and a helping hand can mean so much to someone facing the aftermath of a disaster.

We are so grateful to every volunteer, donor, and community partner who helped make those days in Northwest Indiana possible. This recognition belongs to all of you, too!

Operation Lend A Hand would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to Marshall County Farm Bureau for their incredibly generous donation of $2,500 to support our future disaster relief efforts!

When disaster strikes, every minute matters, and having the resources available to respond can make all the difference. This generous contribution will help ensure that we are better prepared to lend a helping hand wherever and whenever it is needed.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU, Marshall County Farm Bureau, for believing in what we do and helping us continue making a difference!

Today marks 25 years since the tragic events of September 11, 2001 a day that forever changed our nation.

We pause to remember the nearly 3,000 innocent men and women whose lives were taken far too soon. We honor the firefighters, law enforcement officers, emergency responders, military personnel, and ordinary citizens who courageously stepped forward to help others, many making the ultimate sacrifice.

Twenty five years may have passed, but their bravery, selflessness, and legacies will never be forgotten. May we continue to keep their families and loved ones in our hearts and remember the unity our country showed during its darkest hours.

Today, we remember every life lost, every hero who answered the call, and every family forever changed.

We will never forget.

This past Saturday’s LaPaz Auto Mania was a great day, and we are incredibly thankful for everyone who came out to support it! From the awesome vehicles that rolled in to everyone who stopped by to check them out, we loved seeing such a great turnout!

Of course, an event like this wouldn’t be possible without some pretty amazing people and businesses behind it. We want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to our show sponsors:

🏆 Fernbaugh’s Diamonds & Fine Jewelry
🏆 Mosley Motorsports
🏆 Heckaman Homes
🏆 Rip’s
🏆 Michiana Tree Masters & Property Maintenance LLC
🏆 Griswold Exterior Illumination

These businesses stepped up to support our event, and that support means more than simply helping us put on a car show. It allows us to continue what we do and serve our community. We hope you’ll return the favor and support these businesses whenever you get the chance!

Now that we’ve had some time to sit down and look at the final numbers from our emergency relief responses in Chesterton and Munster, Indiana, we wanted to share just how much was accomplished!

1,170 FREE MEALS SERVED
$935.19 TOTAL COST
$1,194.00 RAISED
That means it cost us only about $0.80 per meal served!

Between both communities, we went through an incredible amount of food and supplies:

79 dozen eggs — 948 eggs
40 trays of biscuits — 960 biscuits
132 quarts of gravy
110 lbs. of oranges
66 lbs. of bananas
96 hot dogs
168 egg sandwiches
168 slices of cheese
288 bottles of water
251 small to-go containers
220 large to-go containers

None of this would have been possible without the people who donated, volunteered, cooked, served, helped organize, and supported us along the way.

Because of your generosity, every dollar spent on these two responses was covered by donations, leaving $258.81 that can go toward helping Operation Lend A Hand prepare for the next time a community needs us.

What started as our first emergency relief breakfast turned into 1,170 meals served across two communities in just two days.

Our recent Chesterton and Munster responses showed just how quickly your support can make an impact. If you would like to help Operation Lend A Hand Inc. prepare for our next emergency response, there are several ways you can donate:
