Sutter Home® Family Vineyards wants to help the United States military and families have a better holiday. To help make this happen they are working with Operation Gratitude. The intent of the program is to send care packages to those stationed throughout the world.

A press release I received yesterday, explains how everyone can help with showing they care. “Now through December 31, Sutter Home fans can show their support for this worthwhile effort by texting HOME to 89800. For every valid text received, Sutter Home will donate $5, up to $20,000, to help send care packages to active duty military personnel.”

Sutter’s wine club members can also have a hands-on opportunity to help at the Sutter tasting room. During November, the winery is providing room for wine club members to assembly care kits. Wine club members can stop by to help assembly the kits that will include: toothpaste, tooth brushes, hot compresses and other items that we here at home so often take for granted.

Operation Gratitude

The Sutter Home® Family Vineyards’ website offers information about Operation Gratitude.

“Operation Gratitude is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that sends 150,000+ individually addressed care packages to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines deployed overseas, to their children left behind, and to New Recruits, Veterans, First Responders, Wounded Warriors and their Care Givers.  Each package contains food, hygiene products, entertainment and handmade items, as well as personal letters of support. Operation Gratitude seeks to lift spirits and meet the evolving needs of our Military and First Responder communities, and provide volunteer opportunities for Americans to express their appreciation to all who serve our nation.”

If you find yourself looking for a way to show you care and support the military especially those away from home while serving our nation, be sure to check out Sutter Home® Family Vineyards  and Operation Gratitude.

Cheers!
