Operation USA

January 01, 1970

Operation USA (also known as OpUSA, Operation California, or OpCal) is a non-profit humanitarian organization supporting health, education, and relief programs at home and abroad in order to help children and families recover and thrive in the wake of disasters. Working with grassroots community organizations, OpUSA strives to help the most overlooked and under-served communities. It is privately funded, receiving no assistance from the United States federal government. OPUSA had a revenue of over $2.6 million in the fiscal year 2019, and since 1979 has delivered more than $400 million in aid to 100 countries.[1]

History edit

Operation California began in 1979 as "a relief organization created to provide aid to Vietnamese Boat People and Cambodian refugees",[8][dead link] co-founded by Richard Walden (still active as President & CEO) and Llewellyn Werner (who left in early 1980). The organization flew "the first international relief airlift to Cambodia since 1975",[9] delivering medicine to Phnom-Penh. Operation California had airlifted more than $3 million worth of aid by October 1979.[10][11][12][13]

In 1982, Operation California sent "the first private airlift from the U.S. to Poland", delivering 200,000 lbs. of medical supplies and medicine;[14][dead link] that year Operation California also airlifted medical supplies to Lebanon.[15] In 1983, Operation California delivered aid to the children of Vietnam and Cambodia.[16] Operation California provided aid to the earthquake victims in Mexico City in 1985,[17][better source needed] as well as working in cooperation with the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee and Oxfam America, to deliver $250,000 worth of medical aid to Nicaragua.[18][dead link][19][dead link] In 1986, Operation California, in conjunction with Medical Aid to El Salvador, sent "[t]wo cargo planes carrying $500,000 worth of relief supplies to earthquake-stricken El Salvador".[20][dead link] In 1988, Operation California began using the name Operation USA because it better described the effort and intent of the organization to represent the entire American people.[9] In 1989, Operation USA facilitated operations on children in Vietnam who had cleft palates by a Los Angeles-based plastic surgeon, Dr Stanley Frileck.[21][dead link]

Medical aid and rebuilding effort was delivered to Mexico in 1990 by OPUSA.[22] In 1991, OpUSA delivered aid to Bangladesh.[23] Two years later, OpUSA did the same thing to war-torn Somali.[24] In 1994, OpUSA provided earthquake relief.[25] In 1999, the organization provided aid to Hurricane Mitch survivors in Honduras and Nicaragua.[26] In that same year, OpUSA gave essential supplies to storm victims in Mexico.[27]

In 2003, OpUSA delivered aid to Iraq War victims in the Persian Gulf.[28][dead link] The tsunami victims in Sri Lanka and Indonesia were aided by OpUSA in 2004,[29][dead link] as well as the Mexico City flood victims.[17][dead link] In 2008, OpUSA has delivered aid to Myanmar cyclone victims[30][better source needed] as well as Chinese earthquake victims[31][dead link] and flood victims in the Midwest, USA.[32][better source needed] In 2015, OpUSA partnered with UniversalGiving and United Airlines to raise funds for its Nepal Earthquake recovery project, rebuilding a school in Fyakse, in the Dhading district. In 2017, OpUSA launched relief efforts helping communities impacted by an unprecedented string of disasters, including Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Maria, Hurricane Irma, and California wildfires. In 2018, OpUSA delivered cash grants and supplies to aid communities impacted by Hurricanes Florence and Michael in the eastern US.

In 2020, OpUSA began responding to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States by delivering cash and supplies to partners aiding front-line workers.[33][better source needed]
