Another plea for plastic bags. We need bags so people can carry all the stuff that you, as a generous community, donate. Thank you so much for all you do, especially right now, the plastic bags!

All the workers at Operation Blessing are volunteers. We've been operating as an all-volunteer agency since 1982, providing free food and clothing for those in need. This year we've had approximately 5,000 household visits.

A recent anonymous Facebook post has been made claiming donations of items made are not handled properly. We want everyone to know that the allegations made have been addressed. If anyone has a complaint, it is hoped that it would be made directly to the Executive Director, who, in consultation with our Board of Directors, will resolve the issue.
