Operation Gratitude is a nonprofit organization that aims to express appreciation to military service members, veterans, and first responders. Founded in 2003, it organizes the assembly and distribution of care packages filled with snacks, personal letters, and essential items. These packages are sent to active-duty troops, veterans, and emergency personnel to show gratitude for their service. The organization relies on volunteers to help create these care packages, which also include items like hygiene products and entertainment supplies. Through community events and partnerships, Operation Gratitude fosters a sense of connection and support for those who serve and protect the nation.
