THANK YOU
for helping us create all these smiles and more in 2012!

In these last few days of 2012, we reflect upon and greatly appreciate your generosity that enabled us to send more then 150,000 Operation Gratitude Care Packages this year.

Your kindness touched the lives of 150,000 Troops in harm’s way, their Children anxiously awaiting at home, Veterans, First Responders, Wounded Warriors and their Care Givers.

But your thoughtfulness also touched countless others: Their loved ones who now know they are not alone in caring.

We could not do what we do for the troops without your ongoing support.

MoreGuideStar than 98% of all donations to Operation Gratitude are devoted to Program Services. Only 1.3% of funds raised is used for administrative and fundraising expenses.  We are very proud of these numbers and will continue to honor and respect the charitable intent of our donors.

Every tax deductible donation of $15 sends another care package.

Checks may be made payable and sent by mail to:

Operation Gratitude
16444 Refugio Road
Encino, CA 91436 

Online donations can be made here: DONATE NOW

THANK YOU AGAIN for your generous year-round support!

All our best wishes to you and your loved ones for a very healthy, safe and blessed New Year. We look forward to celebrating our 10th Anniversary and One Millionth Care Package with you in 2013!

About Operation Gratitude

Operation Gratitude annually sends 100,000 care packages filled with snacks, toiletries, entertainment items and personal letters of appreciation addressed to individually named U.S. Service Members deployed in harm's way, to their Children left behind, and to Veterans, Wounded Warriors and First responders. Our mission is to lift morale, bring a smile to a service member's face and express to our our Military and their families the appreciation and support of the American people. Operation Gratitude receives the names of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines from commanders in the field who see the positive impact of care packages on their troops' morale. Each package contains donated product valued at $75-100 and costs the organization $15 to assemble and ship. For safety and security, assembling of packages occurs at the Army National Guard armory in Van Nuys, California. Since its inception in 2003, Operation Gratitude has shipped more than 900,000 packages to American Military and their families.
