Marching Feet Service Project: Operation Gratitude Letter Writing Campaign
Our Marching Feet Project includes participating in a letter writing campaign that is sponsored by Operation Gratitude. Every year, Operation Gratitude sends over 300,000 individually addressed Care Packages to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen deployed overseas, to their children left behind, and to First Responders, New Recruits, Veterans, Wounded Heroes, and their caregivers. Each package contains snacks, hygiene products, entertainment, and handmade items, as well as personal letters of support. Through Collection Drives, Letter Writing Campaigns, Craft Projects, and Care Package Assembly Events, Operation Gratitude provides civilians anywhere in America a way to say “Thank You” through active, hands-on volunteerism.
The children and youth at Northwest are so very creative and coloring and drawing are activities that we enjoyed during activity time. I thought this would be a great way to support current and former members of our military.
