Write Letters at Home with Operation Gratitude
Writing a letter is a simple and meaningful way for volunteers nationwide to say “Thank You” to all who serve. Your kind words could bring lasting joy to a Care Package recipient. Operation Gratitude includes handwritten letters in every Care Package sent to their Deployed Troops, Recruit Graduates, Veterans, Wounded Heroes, and First Responders. In these unprecedented times, the heroes need everyone's unwavering support. Taking the time to put pen to paper and share your heartfelt thoughts can be what motivates them to keep moving forward in their duties to our nation.

Make Paracord Bracelets at Home with Operation Gratitude
When you craft a paracord lanyard, you are providing a service member or first responder with a tangible and lasting expression of your gratitude and a symbol of the appreciation of grateful Americans everywhere. When your lanyards arrive at Operation Gratitude's facility, they will attach a carabiner that can be clipped onto almost anything to keep it within reach should an emergency arise. They include lanyards in their Care Packages because they’re both functional and meaningful, as they are handmade by Americans who want to show their appreciation to Military and first responders.

Make Pillowcases for Troops with Operation Gratitude
Our troops, who have bravely sacrificed their comfort so everyone may live freely, are not always deployed with bedding. Operation Gratitude needs the exceptional sewing skills of their nationwide network of Volunteers to create handmade pillowcases for our troops to sleep on each night. And as a bonus, they can also use them as a laundry bag! Visit: https://www.operationgratitude.com/volunteer/anywhere/project-pillowcase/
