Operation One More is a volunteer organization based in Rochester, MN with a mission to provide groceries during the holiday season to families with young children who face food insecurity. The holiday season can be financially stressful for many, and the organization aims to bring joy and relief to these families.

Our process is truly a group and community effort. Food is collected over several months at various sites and then assembled into grocery bags. Each grocery bag is packed with care and precision, ensuring that every family receives the same essentials.

Depending on the family size, they receive anywhere from 1 to 3 bags of groceries. In addition, families also receive bread, milk, and a $25 gift card to a local grocery store to be used toward the protein of their choice. It is our hope that this simple act of kindness provides each family with enough food to make their holiday season a little brighter.

What makes Operation One More even more special is the participation of local students. Youth in the community are invited to take part in every step of the process including the delivery of these groceries. It's a hands-on opportunity to experience the joy of giving and to spread kindness directly to those in need.

As Mother Teresa once said, "If you can't feed one hundred people, then feed just one." Operation One More embodies this spirit of making a meaningful impact, one family at a time, by ensuring that no one is left hungry during the holiday season and providing an opportunity for students to contribute to their community.
