Operation Gratitude annually sends at least 100,000 care packages filled with snacks, entertainment items and personal letters of appreciation addressed to individually named U.S. Service Members deployed in hostile regions, to their children left behind and to wounded warriors recovering in military hospitals or transition units. Our mission is to lift morale, bring a smile to a service member’s face and express to our Armed Forces the appreciation and support of the American people. Each package contains donated product valued at ~$125 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 volunteers have shipped more than 750,000 packages to American Military deployed overseas.

What are the things you’d most like to receive from us?
Here’s the link to our “Wish List”: http://www.operationgratitude.com/the-wish-list/ Thank you for your kind support!
I am so inspired by what Operation Gratitude does that I am going to dedicate my summer to raising funds to print as many copies of my joke book, Serving Up Some Leftovers, as I can possibly can – to send them to our troops. Car washes, bake sales, I’ve even considered a dog wash. What ever it takes. I’ll have every neighborhood child from the age of 9-15 helping (thanks to all my daughters friends). But I promise, I will be shipping a health dose of laughter to as many soldiers as I can, because I am on a mission to make the giggles echo, and I believe the laughter should start with our troops.
