How to Support the Troops on Memorial Day

[This news release comes from Operation Gratitude]

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 to remember, honor and pay special tribute to those who have died in service to our nation during a Memorial Day program*.

WHEN: Saturday, May 26
Morning Shift: 9 am - Noon

*Memorial Day Program: Noon
 
Lunch: 12:30 - 1:30 pm
Afternoon Shift: 1 - 4 pm

WHERE: California Army National Guard Armory
17330 Victory Boulevard
Van Nuys, CA 914064 (Map)

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 -- they are 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!
