Operation Provider

Operation Provider began in 1989 when Holland Lowe, a community activist, and a Christian woman who became troubled by the problem of hunger in her mountain community. A resident of 35 years, Holland found herself disturbed by the profound lack of services to families in need as the community, largely known as a resort area, turned a blind eye to the social problems of hunger and the large population of families in need. Holland was troubled by the hunger she saw: Low income families collecting AFDC or SSI, seniors living on a fixed income, homeless people (including teenagers), disabled people, and single parents, the working poor, struggling to make ends meet.
