Operation Once in a Lifetime Programs

Operation Once in a Lifetime Programs is dedicated to supporting U.S. Soldiers, veterans, and their families in Tyler, TX, by transforming their dreams into reality through essential financial and morale support. Our mission emphasizes inclusivity, offering various programs designed to uplift those who serve, regardless of their rank or deployment status. From providing crucial essentials upon a soldier's return home through Operation Welcome Home, to delivering care packages that bring a piece of home to deployed troops with Operation Care Packages, our initiatives cater to the unique needs of military families. We also strive to enhance life experiences with programs like Operation Once in a Lifetime, which creates unforgettable moments for service members and their loved ones, and Operation Fly A Soldier Home, assisting those unable to afford their flights home. Our commitment extends to educational support for children of deployed parents through Operation Back To School and fostering community through outdoor activities tailored for veterans with our Soldier Outdoor Initiative. At Operation Once in a Lifetime, every service member qualifies for our heartfelt assistance, and we are here to ensure that their sacrifices are acknowledged and celebrated, particularly during times of need like the holidays with our Toys For Troops initiative.
