Operation Gratitude care packages contain food, hygiene products, entertainment and handmade items, plus personal letters of appreciation, all wrapped with good wishes of love and support.<\/p>\n<p>The 1 Millionth Care Package Celebration is the culmination of a decade of hard work and dedication. To send so many card packages was no small feat, and this feat could not have been accomplished without the donations and volunteer efforts of so many people. This celebration marks not only the shipment of the 1 millionth care package; it is a celebration of everyone who made this moment possible.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like more information on the Operation Gratitude 1 Millionth Care Package Event, or if you\u2019d like to help out in some way, please go to the Operation Gratitude website: <a href=\"https:\/\/opgrat.wordpress.com\/2013\/02\/26\/save-the-date-one-million-care-packages-and-counting\/\">Save the Date: One Million Care Packages and Counting | Operation Gratitude Blog<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Gallery Collection has a long history of working with Operation Gratitude.
