"Operation NOW" is a faith-based operation 501c3 which provides support and guidance for the homeless, disadvantaged, and disaster victims. "Operation NOW" acts as a three-fold ministry, teaching, feeding and directing. We work with various churches in Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, and Indiana by allowing them to use our equipment to better serve people in need. "Operation NOW" is a not-for-profit organization. We are financed and operated by volunteers and donations. We also supply food to food banks for the hungry, provide gifts to inmates' children (Angel Tree), and operate an effective Side Walk Sunday School Ministry serving inner cities like Chicago; East St. Louis, IL; Nashville, TN; and Evansville, IN.

Operation NOW is an organization which focuses on serving the homeless/hopeless population which includes men, women and children. The goal is to give the target population a means to provide for their physical, mental and spiritual well-being. The approach is holistic, including sharing the Gospel, providing an on-site healthy meals program, and offering a cognitive life-skills program to include a database of resources to help individuals who have a desire to improve themselves. Follow-up opportunities are coordinated with local faith-based governmental and volunteer organizations.

Operation NOW has been accorded statewide recognition by winning the
Governor's Home Town Award.
Governor Pat Quinn said "Operation NOW has made a lasting impact on the lives of individuals who have been involved with the program. Operation NOW is a great example of what the volunteer spirit is all about, providing a helping hand to a group of people in need and expecting nothing in return."
