Help Us Provide Support

Operation hope was created to make a difference in the lives of hard working migrant laborers and their families. With numerous diverse individuals and corporate partners, Operation Hope seeks to improve the sometimes-desperate living conditions of those that labor so tirelessly. Operation Hope accepts donations of food, clothing and other household necessities and distributes these to migrant workers and their families.

Operation Hope was founded in 1997 by Jesse Zermeño who recognized the plight of Florida's migrant workers. Individuals are rallied and their efforts and donations are channeled to serve the greatest good. Our strong resolve to improve these living conditions is demonstrated weekly when volunteers are assembled to distribute donations of food, clothing and household items to the needy. Not only do Operation Hope volunteers offer these necessary resources, but they offer words of encouragement and support as well.
