    Hi everyone!

    I found a company that can send a care package for free to your sailor if you are short on money or you don't have time to shop and send something to your sailor.  

    The company is www.operationgratitude.com

    I am out of job and I ask for a care package for my son and I got a package sent to him and I also got an email saying that they will be glad to send packages to the other sailors in the unit. 

    This is what I received from them (short version of the  emial) and I want to share with all of you. 

    Hello N.....

    Thank you for requesting a care package from Operation Gratitude!

    We would like to send a care package to every member of their unit as well! If you can provide us with a roster of those they serve with, we will gladly fill a box for each of them.

    Please submit a Request Package form for each one on the Operation Gratitude website or if it is a large unit send the attached Roster Request form with the new names only and email the form directly to me.

    We understand that deployments may get cut short and/or that units may get moved to a different base.  Please notify us immediately if there is a change of address, location or return date.

     

    Thank you for the opportunity to express our appreciation. 

    We hope that you can let other units know about our program so that we can support them as well.

    Respectfully,

    Kelly South

    I called Kelly and she said that I only need to get the First Initial of the sailor and the last name in order for them to receive a package, with the understanding that they are in the same unit because all will be in the same address, she said also that she does not need the rank (for privacy factor).

    Feel free to reach out to them if you want your sailor and his unit receive something unexpected :) 

    Ask your sailor for their shipmates info and this organization will do the rest.

    Hope this info can help!
