Operation Blessing focused on helping U.S veterans and their families for Veterans day.
The ministry has been working in South Carolina since historic rains brought devastation in October.
With the clean-up far from over, Operation Blessing teamed up with Home Depot Wednesday to help repair veterans' homes.
Henry is a U.S Army vet who completed two tours in Afghanistan. He and his wife, Anna, are trying to rebuild their home, but they exhausted their savings in the effort and weren't able to complete the work.
OB stepped in to help install sheetrock, insulation, and wire electricity.
"I would like to say thanks," Anna said. "Thanks is not enough. Those words are not enough to describe how grateful I am for everything that has been provided to us -- the friendship, the caring, the prayer, just being there. If it wasn't for this help, we would still be in the demolition stage, if we didn't have all these people. So thank you is not enough."
Meanwhile, Operation Blessing was also able to help other victims of the flooding this week, like Katie, a 700 Club partner for the last 20 years.
Katie was staying in an American Red Cross shelter after being displaced from her home by the storms. When the shelter was preparing to close, she realized she had nowhere to go. That's when Operation Blessing stepped in, putting her up for two nights in a local hotel and helping her rebuild her home.
"This is a sad time for me, but on the other hand, there is a joyous part to it too because God is here in Operation Blessing," Katie said.
