Operation Appreciation is comprised of volunteers who share a love of country, community and gratitude for those who serve.

We have no bricks and mortar, no payroll, no overhead; thus, allowing 100% of every dollar donated/raised to go directly to our troops. OpA takes the time to go out into the community to meet our troops: Armory locations, duty stations, family assistance programs, chaplains, the VA and more. OpA must continually evolve to the current needs of our service men/women in order to offer the level of support they need and deserve.

By giving back to the community where we live, work and play....we are making strong bonds that change lives.
