Operation Gratitude

Operation Gratitude’s mission is to say Thank You to our Military and First Responder communities, and to honor their service by creating opportunities for all Americans to express gratitude. Operation Gratitude provides opportunities for the American people to show our Military and first responders that what they do matters. Since 2003, with the help of a nationwide network of Volunteers, Operation Gratitude has sent a total of 4 million Care Packages containing carefully chosen items meant to boost the morale and resilience of our service members and give them warm reminders of home. Today the organization sends up to 200,000 Care Packages per year, and is committed to growing that number to over 1 million per year by 2027.
