Christmas Food and Outreach Appeal
In a country where poverty and hunger are widespread, Operation Life faces a challenging decision each week on how to respond to desperate individuals seeking assistance. In faith, we have expanded our food and outreach program to address the growing need.
The food programs are entirely dependent on Operation Life supporters.
Prisons
Prisons are tough places for inmates. Food is limited. Operation Life runs prison food programs which include a church service and a healthy meal for both men’s and women’s prisoners.
Hospitals

On the Streets
