Operation Once in a Lifetime Programs

Operation Once in a Lifetime Programs, based in Richmond, TX, is dedicated to fulfilling the dreams of U.S. soldiers, veterans, and their families by offering essential financial and morale support. Our mission serves all service members—regardless of rank, deployment status, or physical condition—ensuring that every hero qualifies for our assistance. Through specialized initiatives, we provide once-in-a-lifetime experiences, essential homecoming supplies, and tools for family reconnecting, including computers for those separated by distance. Our care packages bring comforts of home to deployed troops, while various programs cater to the unique needs of military families, such as back-to-school supplies for children with deployed parents and thoughtful baby shower arrangements for expecting service members. We also assist those in financial distress through resources for housing, utilities, and food. Our Soldier Outdoor Initiative supports veterans with outdoor activities like hunting and fishing, promoting healing and camaraderie. Additionally, we reach out to homeless veterans with vital items and transitional housing assistance. During the holiday season, Toys For Troops brings joy by providing toys for military families. At Operation Once in a Lifetime, we strive to support and uplift our servicemen and women through every phase of their lives.
