KCAL Cares teams up with Operation Gratitude

KCAL Cares and Operation Gratitude have teamed up to show our gratitude to troops, veterans and first responders. Join us in a letter writing campaign and a care package donation drive. Your kind words or small gift can make a big different to those who keep us safe.

Amazon Wish List

You can help Operation Gratitude fill care packages for those who serve by purchasing items on a wish list. Click on this link, which will take you to the organization's Amazon wish list. You can also scan this QR code. The wish list includes sunscreen, Beanie Babies and salty snacks.

Letter Writing

Writing a letter is a simple way to offer support, encouragement and say 'Thank You' to those who serve. Operation Gratitude includes handwritten letters in every care package sent to deployed troops, recruit graduates, veterans, caregivers and first responders. Join us at one of our live events to write a note of gratitude.

• Aug. 10: If you are headed to the LA Chargers game at SoFi Stadium, look for the CBS/KCAL tent before you enter.
• Aug. 14: The Americana at Brand from 4-7 p.m. KCAL's Juan Fernandez will be across from the AMC Theatre Marquee.
• Aug. 14: The Grove from 4-7 p.m. We will have a tent set up in front of the fountain.

Operation Gratitude sends up to 200,000 care packets per year.  Every care packet contains a letter of gratitude. Troops also cherish the letters and keep them for years, even after they've completed their service.  

Sit 'n Sleep is a proud sponsor of this Operation Gratitude campaign.
