History:
Operation Blessing, Inc started out of the home of Rick and Rachel Sparkowich in 1978 after Rachel had visited a family that had many material needs. By getting personally involved and alerting her friends, relatives, and church folks of the need, items began to flow into her home. As 1981 drew to a close, 25 families were being helped out of the Sparkowich home. After many years of service, Operation Blessing has their own facility in Portsmouth,N.H. They have 40+ affiliated churches with O.B. coordinators, a staff and volunteer force of approx. 75 people and service over 70 communities in the Southern Maine and Southeastern parts of New Hampshire.
