2022 Operation Reach Out

July 15, 2022

Helping those who serve for us.

In 2021 GBU Life, along with our members sent more than 7,000 care packages to deployed troops and local veterans in need. We contributed funds to donate needed items such as bedding, exercise equipment, food and hygiene supplies. These items were sent along with warm wishes from our GBU members in the form of cards and letters.

For 2022, we will again be meeting for in-person packing events. During these quarterly events, we will be sorting and packing hygiene, snack and leisure kits, which contain common wish-list items that we will be able to send to our deployed troops when they are requested. You can support Operation Reach Out by volunteering to help pack, making a donation or simply by coloring cards to send with the care packages.

Our next packing day is scheduled for Saturday, October 22, 2022, at the Operation Troop Appreciation Headquarters. Visit community.gbu.org/events and scroll down to “ORO Quarterly Pack N’ Prep: October Event” to register as a volunteer.

Thoughtful (and Inexpensive) Ways to Celebrate Teachers

May 4, 2026

Every child can name a teacher who made a difference: the one who stayed late to help, offered encouragement at just the right moment or made learning feel exciting. Recognizing a teacher’s dedication doesn’t require grand gestures, but it does call for intention. Thoughtful appreciation gifts, especially during Teacher Appreciation Week or year-end celebrations, offer a tangible way to express heartfelt gratitude.
