Operation Gratitude to Sent Packages to Our Troops This Memorial Day Weekend
Join the Van Nuys organization and do your part to help troops.

We hope you will spend part of your Memorial Day weekend with us as we join together to support the troops by assembling thousands of individually-addressed care packages.
We will also take time out during our Memorial Day program to remember, honor and pay special tribute to those who have died in service to our nation.

Morning Shift: 9 a.m - Noon
Memorial Day (Remembrance): Noon
Lunch: 12:30 - 1:30 p.m

Please email our Volunteer Coordinator, Penny, to let her know you're coming: opgratvolunteer1@yahoo.com (Be sure to put the words "Operation Gratitude Volunteer" in the subject line.)
We are looking forward to welcoming the PerKup Mobile back for delicious hot and cold drinks and snacks. Pink's Hot Dogs will join us for lunch, and is planning a special "Operation Gratitude Cookout"!
These vendors are donating a generous portion of the proceeds back to support our cause, so even if you're unable to stay to volunteer, we hope you'll stop by for some morning coffee or lunch. Every purchase helps send another care package to the troops.
THANK YOU for helping us make a difference in the lives of so many.
