At Operation Gratitude, our volunteers are the heartbeat of what we do at Operation Gratitude. With over 3.5 million Care Packages sent since 2003, we couldn’t accomplish our mission without the support of grateful Americans across the country. We invite you to join us on the journey to say thank you to all who serve through special service projects you can complete from anywhere! Below are ways you can contribute to our signature Care Packages:

Letter Writing - Writing a letter is a meaningful way for Americans to show support for all who serve. It only takes five minutes of your day but will bring lasting joy to the recipients.

Paracord Lanyards - By taking the time to craft a paracord lanyard, you are providing a hero with a tangible, lasting expression of your gratitude, and a symbol of the appreciation of grateful Americans everywhere.

Handmade with Love - In the cold winter months, we include a lovingly handmade scarf or hat in every Care Package we send to the troops. To make that happen, we need the knitting and crocheting talents of volunteers across the country. Our Handmade with Love volunteers also make greeting cards for service members to send hand-crafted cards to loved ones while on deployment as well as small crocheted or knitted items such as flying discs and amigurumi figures. Whether you’re an expert crafter or just starting out, we have a project for you!

Collection Drives - Our Care Packages are filled with donated items from grateful Americans and corporations. Show your support for our heroes by organizing a collection drive in your community and help create "the best Care Packages ever."
