Operation
Helene
Mission Accomplished!!
We are proud to announce that Operation Airdrop has successfully completed its largest mission to date. Thanks to the incredible support of our volunteers, donors, and community partners, we were able to deliver vital supplies to numerous hard-hit areas affected by Hurricane Helene.
With roads now accessible, ground transportation has taken over, and many communities have shared their gratitude, saying, "You saved us!"—a testament to the impact we’ve made together. Thank you to everyone who helped make this mission possible. We couldn’t have done it without you!
