October 4, 2022 – Tulsa, OK
 
Operation Gratitude will partner with Volunteers from the greater Los Angeles area to assemble 16,000 Care Packages to thank America’s Veterans, and the packages will be delivered just in time for Veterans Day. 400 of the Care Packages assembled will be delivered to Veterans at the VA Hospital in Tulsa. The assembly will take place on October 8th and 22nd at Operation Gratitude headquarters in Chatsworth, CA from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM PT 
 
Veterans make up 7% of America’s population, and these brave men and women know what it is to sacrifice in service to our nation. But sadly, many rarely or sometimes never hear thank you. An Operation Gratitude Care Package is an opportunity to thank these individuals for their service and remind them that a grateful nation remembers and appreciates them.  
 
Operation Gratitude Care Packages contain snacks, personal care and hygiene products, and handmade items, but the most cherished item in the organization’s Care Package are the handwritten letters from grateful Americans nationwide. It’s part of Operation Gratitude’s overarching mission to express deep appreciation for those who have stepped forward to serve and sacrificed on our behalf.

About Operation Gratitude
Operation Gratitude is a nationwide nonprofit dedicated to expressing gratitude to U.S. recruit graduates, deployed troops and their children, Veterans and first responders through Care Packages. In March of 2003, Operation Gratitude sent its first four Care Packages to deployed service members in Iraq. Since then, with the help of our nationwide network of Volunteers, we have sent a total of 3.5 million Care Packages containing carefully chosen items meant to lift the spirits of all those who serve. Today, we send up to 200,000 Care Packages annually and are committed to growing that number to over 1 million by 2027. For more information visit OperationGratitude.com
