We will be collecting "wish list" items to donate to Operation Gratitude, the 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer-based organization that sends care packages to our military and first responders. We will have a container at our board of directors meeting in September in which you can drop off your donated items. If you are interested in donating, please contact Sarah at sarah@pcoc.org.

Here is a list of items that Operation Gratitude is in need of: 

• All-purpose wipes (single & 30-ct. packs or less)
• Batteries (AA and/or AAA)
• Deodorant (travel size, non-aerosol)
• Drink mix (Individual serving packets)
• Gum
• Hand warmers
• Jerky (individual bags)
• Lip balm
• Pencils (mechanical preferred)
• Playing cards
• Powder (travel dize)
• Puzzle books (7" x 10" preferred size)

If you wish to purchase wish list items online, here is the link to the Amazon Wish List.  

*Please remember to enclose a personal letter of appreciation for the receiver of the care package. 

In addition, the cost to ship one care package is typically around $15. At our September board of directors meeting, we will have a container where you can drop your pocket change to be sent to Operation Graditude to help cover the cost of shipping the care packages.
