History

    In July 2007 Bill and Annie Malone helped a young father survive a suicide attempt (from hospital emergency, to rehabilitation, through effective mentoring, and onto restoration and self-sufficiency). From that, we decided to organize under what we felt was an appropriate title, "Operation Living Hope" in August of 2007. We ourselves went through recovery from that experience, as we were our own first clients. Along the way we have initiated family events and programs to prevent domestic violence and addictions with objective to promote peace in homes.
   Our compassion for the afflicted (in bondage to poverty, homelessness, hunger) grew. In May of 2010 we set up a thriving food shelf in North Minneapolis to alleviate hunger in that area and outward. In early 2011 it had become more than a food shelf.  Now our team educates and provides new beginnings with good nutrition and partners with folks whose lives are on the brink, giving ourselves to lifetime friendships.
