Amazon and Operation Homefront Deliver Gifts to Local Military Families

On December 17th, Operation Homefront and local Amazon.com associates delivered an early surprise to military families in our area. The Moose Lodge in College Park, Maryland hosted the event for several of the Fort Meade families, many of whom have parents who are deployed overseas for the holidays. Santa’s elves, also known as Amazon associates from the Baltimore fulfillment center, handed out gifts for dozens of children.

Earlier this month, Amazon delivered 2,000 care packages filled with popular holiday favorites, including an Amazon Fire tablet to deployed service men and women.

Amazon is a proud supporter of the local communities where its associates live and work. Amazon has a long history of supporting our military and veterans from delivering packages to combat zones to hiring thousands of veterans every year.

Operation Homefront is a national organization that assists military families during difficult financial times by provided food assistance, auto and home repair, vision care, travel and transportation, moving assistance, essential home items and financial assistance.
