Operation Military Care
In this “heroic” Team Building activity your team will assemble care packages for our service men and women. Packages are created for soldiers who rarely or never receive anything from home. Teams really make a difference by acknowledging their service and providing these special gifts.
Event Overview
Build Care Packages for Our Troops
Let’s start with where it ends – care packages for military personnel.
As U.S. troops continue to deploy and defend our nation overseas, many companies want to know how to send care packages to service members — even if they don’t personally know them. Our country loves supporting our troops both at home and overseas. And, care packages sent to overseas bases or stateside hospitals are a great way to show that gratitude.
In the Operation Military Care corporate volunteering program, your teams are required to gather items and materials that will complete the care packages. These items are spread over a large area. From competition to collaboration, teams realize that only a shared, concerted effort will allow the project task to be completed on time. At the end of the activities, teams use their points to purchase items for the care packages for their soldiers. If timing and circumstances allow, we coordinate with a local soldier or charities such as Operation Homefront and Blue Star Mothers who accept the gifts on care packages for military personnel abroad. After the packages are created, teams tally their points and the real “winning” team is declared — our troops overseas!
You’ll be amazed at how energizing and uplifting this program can be for everyone involved, and what your team can accomplish back at work after an event that pulls everyone together for such a rewarding cause. If timing and circumstances allow, we coordinate with a local soldier or charities such as Operation Homefront and Blue Star Mothers who accept the gifts on behalf of our soldiers abroad.
Real soldiers, real results: “I am currently deployed to Afghanistan. I received an amazing package (you guys were spot on with items I love… Ramen noodles, popcorn, romantic comedies..don’t judge). I wanted to thank you so much and it meant a lot to get a package when I least expected it.”
