Operation Gratitude

It’s Fun Fact Friday! ?? The Battalion Buddies we sent in 2023 could stretch across 25 USS Reagan aircraft carriers if laid paw-to-paw! That’s a lot of cuddles for our military children! ??? #OperationGratitude #SupportOurTroops #MilitaryAppreciation #ThankYouHeroes #VolunteerStories #GivingBack #GratitudeMatters

This Thanksgiving, we pause to express our heartfelt gratitude to all who serve our nation from our Military and Veterans to First Responders and their families. Your selfless dedication inspires us every day. Let’s also give thanks to the volunteers, donors, and supporters who make it possible to show appreciation in meaningful ways. #Thanksgiving #GratitudeInAction #ThankfulForYou #OperationGratitude #SupportOurTroops #ThankYouHeroes #Volunteer #MilitarySupport

Shout out to the incredible students at Mesa Union School. Mesa Union School’s CJSF (California Junior Scholarship Federation) club picked Operation Gratitude as their November philanthropy to support. Students made paracord lanyards at their two lunchtime meetings. Thank you for your support of our mission! #OperationGratitude #SupportOurTroops #ThankYouHeroes #Volunteer #MilitarySupport

In the spirit of Friendsgiving, we want to give a big shoutout to our friends at Ferrara, with a special high five to their Veterans BRG, for their ongoing commitment to making life a little sweeter for those who serve. Through their generous donations of delicious treats, we are able to show our collective appreciation to the brave men and women who serve year-round. As we look ahead to the holidays, we’re excited to share that Ferrara’s support ensures our Care Packages are brimming with festive, holiday-themed sweets—so irresistible, even the Tooth Fairy would approve! ?? Thank you, Ferrara, for helping us spread gratitude to our service members this season and beyond! ??

Andrew Dever, a student at Wabash College, has spent his undergraduate years cultivating a deep sense of service. As a history and Spanish double major and the Philanthropy Chair of Theta Delta Chi, Andrew's dedication to making an impact is evident in all he does. In the fall of 2022, Andrew was tasked with finding a meaningful volunteer activity that his fraternity could take part in. With a clear goal in mind, he discovered Operation Gratitude—a choice that struck a personal chord. Growing up, Andrew and his mother regularly volunteered with Wreaths Across America, an experience that instilled in him a profound respect for Veterans and their sacrifices. Since then, Operation Gratitude has become a cherished tradition for Theta Delta Chi at Wabash. This semester marks the fifth in which the fraternity has written letters of gratitude to Deployed Troops, Veterans, and First Responders. Reflecting on the experience, Andrew shared, “Operation Gratitude is a reliable source for volunteerism.” As Andrew prepares to graduate, his commitment to serving others remains steadfast. He plans to attend law school with the goal of representing underrepresented communities, ensuring that his passion for giving back extends into his professional life. Yet, he hopes the fraternity will continue the letter-writing tradition, honoring the spirit of gratitude that has become integral to their brotherhood.

#TeamOneMain recently volunteered with Operation Gratitude, one of the largest and most impactful nonprofits supporting military service members, veterans and first responders. Throughout the year, Operation Gratitude holds Assembly Days, which allows supporters, volunteers and corporate partners to lend a hand to those who serve our country. At events in San Diego, CA, and Charleston, SC, OneMain volunteers helped assemble 14,000 care packages for veterans, first responders and crew members aboard the USS George Washington. A huge thank you to our dedicated team members for giving back and showing why OneMain has been nationally recognized for volunteering by the Best Practice Institute.

So many amazing groups and individuals support our organization and help us to say "Thank You" to all who serve. One of them is Krop High School's Key Club read about their latest activity with Operation Gratitude. "We are the Key Club of Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School, which is a student led community service organization. In Honor of Veterans day we wanted to give all of our students a way to say thank you so we set up a table outside during lunch where students could write a letter to a veteran and express their gratitude. In total our students made over 100 letters for us to ship to Operation Gratitude!" @kropkeyclub #OperationGratitude #ThankYouHeroes #Volunteer #CommunityService #Gratitude
