Student Reflection: O.O. Members Pack and Deliver Lunches for Others!

On August 5, Operation Others members packed lunches with food provided by the Open Door Mission Streets of Omaha Project and delivered them throughout Northeast Omaha. Please read Molly and Tina's reflection on the experience below.  Please visit http://www.opendoormission.org/ for more about the Open Door Mission and visit http://creightonprep.creighton.edu/page.cfm?p=2115 for more information about Operation Others

We went to the Open Door Mission to make over one thousand sack lunches, and delivered them throughtout Omaha. As we drove around and gave the lunches to people on the streets we witnessed a part of Omaha that we haven't really seen before. Everyone was so grateful and kind, someone even hugged us. This was a very eye-opening experience for us because we've heard a lot about the lack of food in many people's lives, but we never truely saw it. This helped us to see the hungry people in Omaha directly and let us feel a little bit of their pain. This experience helped us to connect with our community through food, which is what Operation Others is all about. It felt great to help others in need and we would definitly recommend this to others!


Peace, Love, & Food
