Post public compliment
Have been a supervisor in this wonderful, grassroots, all volunteer organization since the spring or 2005! I love what Operation Gratitude does for our troops serving in harm's way as you read this. I love what Operation Gratitude does here at home for our community in bringing Americans of varied backgrounds together. My time volunteering with OpGrat doesn't pay me a nickel, but I am way overpaid! You gotta check out www.opgratitude.com! RIGHT NOW!
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... having the pleasure of reading the e-mail of the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines that receive Operation Gratitude care packages. Operation Gratitude makes a real difference in their lives.
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... the way my heart feels after each successful volunteer event!
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... the kindest, warmest, big hearted, patriotic Americans I've ever had the pleasure to know!
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... send over 650,000 care packages! (And it took us 7 years to send the first 550,000)!

- If I had to make changes to this organization, I would… get a bigger facility. We've outgrown the armory we work in now because of all the patriots that show up to help!
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... getting enough funds to ship the packages. We need $15.00 to ship each care package.

I started as a volunteer with Operation Gratitude at the very beginning, and have watched with amazement the growth of this wonderful organization. The effect it has had on the community as well as the soldiers deployed overseas has been nothing short of incredible. For the soldiers, it has given them ongoing proof that Americans are grateful and love them and are praying for them. The many ways in which they have expressed the profound inpact of Operation Gratitude on their lives can be found in the letters and emails that they send us. The effect on the community has been astonishing, as Operation Gratitude has provided a way for American citizens to thank the troops. So very, very many Americans are grateful to our military and search for a way to express that gratitude. Operation Gratitude has given them that opportunity. The people who volunteer almost always find themselves volunteering for much longer than they expect to, working much harder than they expect to, and feeling much more gratified than they ever expected. They leave hot, tired, and drained, and always thank us on the way out....and most return to volunteer again.
Operation Gratitude has brought out the best in people in so many ways. The goal of bringing a smile to the faces of our troops is always realized, and the added benefit is the smile it also brings to the faces of our volunteers.

I started volunteering for Operation Gratitude back in the fall of 2005. It only took one time going down to the CA Army National Guard armory to get "hooked"! Wonderful people of all ages and from all walks of life were there, united with the one purpose of supporting our deployed troops. What impressed me the most was how there are no paid employees with Operation Gratitude -- we are ALL volunteers! And ALL the items in the care packages sent to service members have been donated, meaning that the monetary donations that come in pay for the postage costs, and very little else! To me. that's a very sensible way to run a non-profit charity! I love Operation Gratitude and would recommend it to anyone as a place to volunteer and/or donate!
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... The responses I've received back via email and postal mail from the U.S. service members who've received Operation Gratitude care packages. These men and women write that they're encouraged by the outpouring of love and generosity of complete strangers.

Operation Gratitude sends care packages to our deployed American troops. I have been with the organization since 2004 and have become a supervisor. It is a wonderful group that bypasses political feelings to see that our troops get the best attention from the folks at home.
We enjoy our work, but even better we get great satisfaction is what we do.

- I've seen the results of this organization in... reading the letters of thanks from the troops after receiving our packages.
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... the great satisfaction I feel knowing that we have made the lives of our deployed heroes a little sweeter.
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... Everyone is friendly and willing to give their all in making sure that our boxes are the best.
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... have it's own facility and space would not be a problem.

- If I had to make changes to this organization, I would… not do anything. I am satisfied by what we are doing.
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... lack of funds to mail the boxes.
