How to volunteer with Operation Gratitude
By: Mary Pane
Many of my clients have often expressed a desire to to support our troops but don’t know where to start. In light of brave men and women who fearlessly serve our country, I wanted to provide a few basic ways to help our troops through Operation Gratitude. Currently, Operation Gratitude, who sends care packages to our troops abroad, is running a Patriotic Drive through June 30th. All you have to do is show up for one of the listed Prep or Assembly days below.
“Prep Day” work consists of sorting donated items, folding shirts, screening letters, and otherwise preparing the products and the Assembly Line for our Assembly Days. “Assembly Day” work includes production of the care packages, labeling, taping, custom forming, letter reading and writing, running packages, re-stocking the lines, breaking down cartons and many other tasks.
Hope to see you there!
