The Problem

Operation Gratitude is the California- based 501 (c) (3) non-profit, volunteer organization that sends care packages of snacks, entertainment items and personal letters of appreciation addressed to individually named U.S. Service Members deployed in hostile regions such as Iraq and Afghanistan, and on military ships at sea. Its mission is to lift morale, bring a smile to a service member's face and to express to all our Armed Forces the appreciation and support of the American people.

Plan of Action

There are several ways in which Operation Gratitude is unique in the Military Support community. First, we send at least 100,000 care packages every year. Each Operation Gratitude care package is personally addressed to a deployed service member. We are also an all-volunteer organization and our administrative expenses are less than 2% of our budget.
