How This Opportunity Works in Four Easy Steps

• Activation Boxes are shipped to volunteers ahead of April 25th
• Volunteers coordinate delivery directly with a local first responder station
• All deliveries must be completed by the end of April
• This opportunity is part of a limited April service effort

The steps below outline what participation looks like from start to finish.

Step 1: Choose a Local First Responder Station

Please identify a first responder station in your community—such as a fire station, police department, EMS station, or similar agency.

Before delivery:

• Research the station’s location and contact information
• Call the station in advance to confirm a convenient time for a drop-off

Sample Call Script

“Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a volunteer with Operation Gratitude, a nonprofit organization saying thank you to Service Members, Veterans, and First Responders. I’m calling to see if there’s a convenient time for me to stop by and deliver a small thank-you package on behalf of grateful volunteers across the country.”

If a station is unable to accept the delivery, please thank them for their time and reach out to another nearby location. Once your station confirms they can accept, complete the form below with their information.

Step 3: Deliver Your Activation Box

At the time of delivery, please:
