Operation Gratitude is the number one organization in the nation supporting our troops with quality packed care packages. Each package is wrapped in love and good wishes from OG, the public, retail sector, and private and corporate contributors located coast to coast. Each box contains soldier requested staple and personal care items along with private contributions of handmade scarves, helmet liners, hats, and more. And letters coming from the very young to the elder are cherished from home. Good wishes, love and caring thoughts mean so much when so far away from their loved ones at home. Feel the love yourself and contribute to our service members, who keep us free and safe, through this excellent non-profit. organization.

My company became aware of Operation Gratitude as we were searching for a way to donate leftover Halloween candy. We boxed up what our employees donated and shipped it off to Operation Gratitude knowing they would use it for the care packages they assemble. A very prompt and professional notification of receipt was sent to me when they received the candy. I was impressed by how the organization is so well run.
The employees of my company mostly live in very small towns around the facility, and haven't had a lot of exposure to ways of supporting our troops. Operation Gratitude teaches us ways we can do just that as individuals or as a group. The volunteers of this organization give so selflessly of themselves, it's an inspiration to others in cities, big or tiny, all around the nation. They have my utmost respect, admiration and appreciation for the work they do.

the many letters I've read on the website expressing appreciation from the troops receiving the care packages. Their emotional appreciation is inspiring others to participate.

if at all possible, set up other volunteer facilities in other states so donors could also become volunteers in assembling care packages.

The feeling of "LOVE" that permeates throughout our 'packing' event days is hard to explain. Everyone is busy filling and labeling boxes all being grateful for having an opportunity to send some joy with our men and women serving our country overwseas.
OG is simply a great organization that provides a lot of smiles to our soldiers. Being a part of that team is a joy in itself.

Operation Gratitude has given me an opportunity to thank the many men and women who, much braver than I, are serving our country in probably one of the most selfless jobs anyone can take on. Many of us wish that we could do something for our soldiers, but we don't know anyone in the service or don't know how. Operation Gratitude gives us that outlet in the most efficient and organized manner. They let us know which items are most useful to the soldiers and provide options for donations, whether we knit or have time to help on prep/assembly days. It is incredibly important for our service persons to know that their country supports them and OpGrat helps us do exactly that.

Operation Gratitude has given so much joy since it started - joy and love to our troops, as they deserve for their great sacrifices for us and our country.
Joy and love experienced by individuals, classrooms, companies for the opportunity to contribute in various ways to the CARE packages that are sent to our troops. Americans of all ages can contribute to Operation Gratitude. Patriotism is back!
My nephew is in the Army and this is a small way I can give back to the military. I've crocheted scarves, written notes and letters and collected items at work. Operation Gratitude sends out specific email updates, so I feel like I am a part of this amazing organization. I only wish I lived close enough to participate in filling and shipping the packages during the Patriotic and Holiday Drives.

What a great thing for citizens to gather together to thank our troops! It is something small in which we all can participate to send our prayers and thoughts for our young men and women fighting on far off battlefields.

Operation Gratitude gives me the chance to thank our soldiers who are laying down their lives for my freedoms. One of my skills is knitting and Operation Gratitude gladly takes our hand-knitted items and delivers them to our soldiers, who either keep them to remind them of home, or give them to a local resident to help them have a better life. Either way, my small part brings joy to others. Operation Gratitude helps me express my gratitude and also help people.

Tell your story here and help others understand this charity
Operation gratitude has given me, my friends and my entire family the opportunity to show support of our deployed troops. This organization has affected the lives of 600,000+ troops by sending them boxes of love and support. These boxes are packed by grateful Americans like myself....giving us the ability to reach out directly to show how grateful we are for the sacrifice and hard work of our military men and women. At Operation Gratitude you can directly participate in putting smiles on the faces of these heroes!!
