Operation Care Package’s mission is to support deployed United States Military from every branch of service with care packages and letters of encouragement. Approximately 150 care packages are shipped weekly with annual postage reaching approximately $120,000. From November 25 to December 9, 2016, OCP mailed 2, 816 holiday care packages containing stuffed stockings for 6,500 troops, which included everyone on its roster. Today, as in 2003 when it began, Operation Care Package relies entirely on volunteers and donations to accomplish its goals. New volunteers are welcome at any time but are especially needed during the holiday mailings and for the Wreaths Across America event on December 16 this year.
