If you or someone you know has a loved one currently deployed, we would be honored to support them by sending care packages filled with encouragement, appreciation, and reminders that they are thought of and supported back home throughout the entirety of their deployment.

Please take a moment to complete our deployment form which can be found on our website under “downloads” or share this post with a military family who may benefit.

We ask that you continue to pray for our military, especially during these times.

🌟 Our next packing night is this upcoming Wednesday, March 4th at 6 PM - located at (WARM) 150 Heatherdown Drive Westerville, Ohio 43081 - we hope to see you there! 🌟

Join us in sending love and support to our deployed service men and women.

As you our faithful followers and supporters join family and friends to give thanks on this Thanksgiving, 2025, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Two years ago, a small group of us gathered in a local restaurant meeting room to support a handful of military members who were deployed. Our goal was to show them we appreciated their service, their sacrifice, and the love they had for their country. Together, we became a nonprofit and sent 60 boxes out to local residence who are deployed abroad. Without you, we could not do this so thank you for your love, your support., your commitment and financial support. I wish you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving with lots of love, laughter, food and a time of thankfulness.

I would also ask as you join with family or with your friends that we keep the families of the two West Virginia National Guard, who were injured yesterday while protecting Washington. We send our thoughts and prayers of healing to those individuals and comfort to their families.

We also send our thanks and our prayers to those serving in our military that could not be home with their family this year.

Happy Thanksgiving to our amazing MGFF family.

Send a SHOUT OUT to your deployed loved one this holiday season:

Santa 95 (Sunny 95) wants to help wish our deployed troops a Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻

If you know someone who is deployed and will not be home for Christmas, download the FREE Sunny 95 app (available on Apple, Android and Google Play). Once downloaded, click on the Open Mic feature and leave a Christmas greeting for your loved one that is serving our country. These greetings will be played in-between songs!

Please include their name, their hometown, their division or branch of service and your greeting!

Example:
“Hi this is Melissa sending love to my son Cpl. Steven Smith of Gahanna serving our country with the 4th Marine Battalion stationed in Greece. Merry Christmas Steve. We’ll miss you this year. Stay safe & Merry Christmas."

What a wonderful thing Sunny 95 - Columbus, OH does to honor our men and women who sacrifice so much! We are grateful to have this kind of support for our troops in surrounding communities ❤️

In October, we were blessed with receiving generous support from the QFM96: WLVQ-FM 96.3 Red, White and Q Fund! We also were invited to be on air for their Red, White and Q Radiothon on November 7th to represent Mission Gratitude and share our mission. To be considered for this grant you must be a 501c3, be located in the Central Ohio area and must benefit Veterans, Active Military, First Responders, or their families.

We are extremely grateful for the support QFM has shown us and the appreciation they have for our military! It is through community that we can join together to remind our service members they are appreciated beyond words, and that the sacrifices they make never go unnoticed.

The QFM Red, White and Q Fund is made possible by their supporters. If interested, you can contribute to this fund by texting the word “GIFT” to 614-821-9696!

The time has come- Hot Chocolate Ornament sales are now open to the PUBLIC 🎄

➡️ $6/each or $5/each if buying more than 1 ⬅️

These make great stocking stuffers, teacher gifts or even just a special treat for yourself!

To make ordering easier this year, we have created a google form. Note that payment is expected at time of drop off/pick up!

All funds raised go toward postage for the care packages we send to our deployed service members. With your support we are able to increase the amount of support given to our men and women who sacrifice so much for us every day. Unfortunately, just as everything else, postage has increased again- it is now $27.10 per box.

Please reach out to Kayla if you have any questions on ordering! (614)769-5850
