### 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.

### Volunteer Activations

Volunteer Activations are a hands-on way to be part of Operation Gratitude, no matter where you live. Five times each year, we host designated Activation Days that create a national moment of thanks in communities across the country. If you can't make it to an Assembly Day but still want to participate in a meaningful way, this is for you. Sign up through the Virtual FOB, and we'll send you a pre-packed Operation Gratitude box to deliver to a veteran or first responder in your hometown on Activation Day.
