Susie Yanson Jennings is the founder and president of Operation Care International (OCI). She began her career as a nurse in 1978 before stepping into a supervisor role at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. After 30 years of working in the medical field, she obeyed God’s calling on her life by leaving her position to pursue full-time ministry. After her husband’s tragic death, Susie developed anew passion to give back to the community and serve the Lord by distributing blankets to the homeless in downtown Dallas. The homeless called her, “The Blanket Lady,” and Susie’s acts of kindness became the genesis of OCI, which has since grown to encompass multiple ministries and major events each year in Dallas, Texas, as well as missions to the homeless and destitute children in nations around the world.
