The Operation plus Captain Henry Petty

Known during his military career as “Capt. What If,” Henry developed a reputation for recognizing possibilities, solving problems, and turning ideas into action. That same practical, service-centered approach continues to guide his leadership of MAS-HELP.

Based in Junction City, Kansas, MAS-HELP brings people and resources together to provide practical assistance where it is needed most. Our community work has included food, clothing, school supplies, household necessities, special events, and support for veterans and military families in transition.
Our Mission
MAS-HELP’s mission is to strengthen the military and local communities by connecting people in need with useful resources, compassionate support, and opportunities to move forward.
We believe meaningful assistance begins with listening, understanding the need, and working with others to find practical solutions.
Who We Serve
MAS-HELP’s community efforts are focused on:
Active-duty service members and their families
Veterans and retired service members
Military families in transition
Wounded, ill, and injured veterans and service members
Families of fallen service members
Children and families experiencing hardship
Residents of Junction City, Geary County, and surrounding communities

Our approach is straightforward: use available resources responsibly, treat every person with dignity, and provide assistance that creates a meaningful and lasting benefit.
