Our Mission

Mission Gratitude Family Friends, a verified 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2023, is dedicated to supporting our deployed service members. Our mission is to create care packages that bring comfort and joy to those who serve our country, remind them that they are never forgotten and that their sacrifice never goes unappreciated. While we have a focus on those from Central Ohio, we accept all sponsored name requests that we receive.
