Operation Once in a Lifetime Programs

Operation Once in a Lifetime Programs, based in Pasadena, TX, is dedicated to fulfilling the dreams of U.S. Soldiers, veterans, and their families through a variety of impactful services. Our mission is to provide free financial and morale support, ensuring that all service members, regardless of rank or condition, have access to the help they need. We create unforgettable experiences through initiatives like Operation Once in a Lifetime, which offers special opportunities to active duty members and veterans; Operation Welcome Home, which supplies essential items for those returning from deployment; and Operation Reconnect, which provides computers to military families to help them maintain vital connections. Our care extends to soldiers with packages via Operation Care Packages, support for children of deployed parents through Operation Back To School, and creating memorable baby showers through Operation Baby Shower. We also assist with travel through Operation Fly A Soldier Home, outdoor experiences for veterans through our Soldier Outdoor Initiative, and support for homeless veterans via Operation Forgotten Veterans, addressing both immediate needs and longer-term assistance. With programs like Operation Full Support, we help with housing, essentials, and much more, all while brightening the holiday season for military families through Toys For Troops. At Operation Once in a Lifetime, we believe that when you serve, you qualify for our unwavering support.
