Operation Sharing
We deliver hope!
In a remote Appalachian community, young children go to bed fully clothed to fend off the bitter winter cold.
Meanwhile, a large national retailer has an overstock of 500 blankets that could warm an equal number of cold, shivering children.
In a small settlement in the eastern Kentucky coal-fields, young mothers struggle to feed their children.
At the same time, church and community-based food kitchens in Cincinnati, Boston and Miami have collected too much baby formula, rice and beans to distribute or store enough foo
d to help feed hundreds of poor and hungry families.
Today, thousands of Americans need food, medicine, and adequate housing
while American businesses often have surplus goods
Operation Sharing brings business and people together to build lives and deliver hope to individuals and families in dire need!
With connections to like-minded organization throughout the 13 Appalachian state area, we bring hope to Americas poorest citizens.
We partner with churches, businesses, non-profit groups and community-based resource centers to distribute much-appreciated and much needed goods to those suffering in poverty.
With two warehouses located in the heart of poverty-stricken Appalachia, each year we distribute millions of dollars of donated surplus goods from hundreds of individuals, organizations and corporations.
We believe that the free and unselfish sharing of material goods with those in need goes hand-in-hand with sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Assuredly, I say to you, in as much as you did it to one of the least of these My breathren, you did it to Me.
Matthew 25:40
