American Baptist Home Mission Societies

Operation Planting Hope

Reimagining ways for American Baptists to serve as the hands and feet of Christ throughout the United States and Puerto Rico

American Baptist Home Mission Societies’ Operation Planting Hope (OPH)  supports the underserved throughout the United States, from Alaska to Puerto Rico and California to New Jersey.

Continuing the tradition of White Cross Overland, Operation Planting Hope offers fresh approaches for individuals and groups to serve ABHMS’ Community Outreach Ministries partners.

OPH provides a multitude of ways to serve others, from providing a hot meal to youth in an after-school program and offering handmade winter hats, scarves and mittens to underserved children to filling backpacks with groceries to sustain a family over a school holiday and helping with filing and office work at a busy social justice agency.

OPH offers multiple ways to volunteer and share gifts of support:

  • Charitable gifts (select “ABHMS Operation Planting Hope” under Online Giving Opportunities);
  • Donated goods (direct donation of goods to the ministry of your choice listed below);
  • Short-term, project-based programs and
  • Long-term service-oriented programs (i.e. feeding ministries, health care ministries).
