Review for Operation Blessing of Southwest Chicagoland, Alsip, IL, USA
Operation Blessing is huge part of my life. I grew up learning about what volunteering really meant through the hard working and loving people who make up this organization! While my dad was an active part of OB, he recruited me quite early on and blessed with me the opportunity to see, hands-on, what God can do in the hearts of so many people trough the act of simply giving food, praying for and with people, and giving them a sense of hope. God ultimately is the reason for such a thing as hope, and it's because of Him that Operation Blessing has gone so far and achieved expansive goals to reach further and further into the community. More than half my life I have had the blessing to witness various sides of Operation Blessing, whether in action-packing boxes & how joyful daily volunteers are to be there, at give away events & seeing children light up at the site of numberous bikes, at breakfasts where we serve those who both give and receive, at all that goes into newsletters, financing and organizing all of the events, to even recieving food ourselves when money was tight. In the end, this place, the people, the food, it is all there to show others what hope there can be found in God as soon as you walk into that door. If your donating or writing about what OB has done for you or both, thank you, please share and support the amazing things this place is doing!
