Write to Troops and Veterans
Operation Gratitude lets anyone say thank you to the people who serve, no matter where you are. The simplest way to help is writing heartfelt letters of appreciation to deployed troops, veterans, and first responders, which get included in care packages shipped nationwide. It is an all-ages activity you can do solo, with a club, or as a family, and every letter genuinely brightens someone day.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
