Our Mission

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Matthew 5:4 

Our mission at Operation Creekside is dedicated to providing comfort and support to families who have tragically lost their loved ones to military suicide. As a well-established non-profit organization with a 15-year history of serving troops and veterans, our focus has shifted to addressing the needs of these grieving families. While we continue our longstanding initiatives such as the annual holiday troop care pack in December, I, Ed McClelland, also play a crucial role as a chaplain providing spiritual guidance to both the families and veterans. In addition to these efforts, we take great pride in crafting and delivering personally meaningful memorial benches to honor these families in various locations throughout the country.
