SLIDELL, LA: Operation Blessing is on the ground in Slidell, LA helping residents pick up the pieces after an EF-2 tornado ravaged the city and surrounding areas. Our team is there coordinating volunteers to clean up downed trees and debris for disaster victims, offering prayer and a glimpse of God’s love at this difficult time.

The storms that spawned the tornado also sent torrential rains and damaging winds across Texas, and friends like you are sending relief supplies to those in need in Jasper and Port Arthur. 

TAIWAN: Operation Blessing has been in Taiwan working with local partners to reach families with much-needed aid after a 7.4-magnitude earthquake. Our team provided food for distribution to hard-hit communities and new clean water storage tanks for members of the Taroko tribe who experienced significant quake damage. 

OHIO: Operation Blessing responded in Wapakoneta, Ohio after twisters ravaged the Midwest. The disaster relief team provided supplies, hot meals, and temporary housing to those in need. 

Join the effort! You can make a difference in the lives of the hurting in the wake of disaster. Your compassion brings hope and help in their darkest hours.

Help Disaster Victims!

When disasters like tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, or other humanitarian crises strike, YOU are there to show hurting people God’s love with immediate relief and long-term recovery.

Operation Blessing partners, staff, and disaster relief volunteers are the first on the ground, partnering with emergency management and local churches to bring food, clean water, medicine and other vital supplies to meet the immediate needs of those suffering.

Then, after others have left, YOU continue to help with the long-term disaster recovery process. Teams of Operation Blessing disaster relief staff and volunteers assist with debris clean up and repairs, as well as providing microenterprise and small business support to help recover jobs and get families back on their feet. Last year, you enabled us to respond to 16 disasters in the U.S. and abroad. Within these past few years, we have also responded to a number of devastating hurricanes including Hurricane Ian, Fiona, Laura, Delta, and Iota. In Operation Blessing’s 2023 fiscal year, you helped us respond worldwide during times of war and political conflict, hurricane and tornado season, famine, flooding, typhoons, earthquakes, and wildfires.

Thanks to faithful friends like you, Operation Blessing is on the cutting edge of disaster response, providing both immediate and long-term relief for people facing crisis and disaster. With unmatched experience working with emergency management, law enforcement, and local churches, Operation Blessing is a disaster relief organization that’s able to provide the greatest impact quickly and efficiently. Whether it’s a historic hurricane like Katrina, an earthquake in Turkey, war in the Ukraine, a flood in West Virginia, fires in Hawaii, or a tornado in Alabama, Operation Blessing is there for those in need.
