Sending Smiles To Our Heroes

Our Mission:
Sharing Gratitude for their Service
At Operation Uplift, we fill and ship care packages with love from home to active duty overseas members to let them know that their sacrifice isn’t forgotten. Since 2017, we have shipped over 9,600 holiday care packages to those serving our country and we couldn’t do this without your support.
Imagine you are thousands of miles from everything you know. You’re missing family, friends, and home while laying your life on the line.
This is the reality for American service members who are deployed overseas. These brave soldiers are far away from familiar comforts.
These are our neighbors, friends and family members who put their lives on the line.
“Hi I'm SPC Archer from the 169th, deployed overseas right now. Thank you so much for the package, it made my day completely.”
- A Real Operation Uplift Recipient
‘We truly appreciate the time and effort put forth to get the packages to us.”

Year Over Year Growth
Starting in 2017 and with continued community support,
we’ve been able to grow our collective impact year after year.
In 2024, our goal is to send smiles to 2,500 heroes. You can help!
FAQ:
