Assembly Days
As requests for care packages come in for deployed troops, veterans, and first responders, we schedule Assembly Days at locations across the country. We'll post details here about when and where those events will take place. Assembly Days are an opportunity for communities and volunteers to come together to pack Operation Gratitude's signature care packages in honor of those who serve. We bring the supplies and the assembly line, you just show up ready to pack with us.
