Thanks to the incredible generosity and dedication of the New Jersey State Federation of Women's Clubs, thousands of beautifully prepared holiday stockings will soon be in the hands of our deployed servicemen and women serving far from home.

Each stocking represents more than just holiday treats and gifts. It carries a heartfelt message of love, appreciation, and gratitude to those who sacrifice so much, especially during the holiday season when being away from family and loved ones is most difficult.

At Operation Jersey Cares, we are honored to help deliver these special reminders that our troops are not forgotten, especially during the holidays.

To the wonderful members of the NJSFWC, THANK YOU! Your kindness, hard work and generosity will bring a little piece of home and a whole lot of holiday cheer to thousands of our American heroes.🇺🇸

As we prepare to celebrate the holidays, there are thousands of our brave servicemen and women who will spend this special time deployed and far from home and those they love.

At Operation Jersey Cares (OJC), we want to remind them that their service, sacrifice and commitment to our country are never forgotten.

Through our annual holiday care package collection and card-making efforts, we send more than just supplies. We send a little piece of home, heartfelt appreciation and a reminder that America is thinking of them.

Do you have a family member or friend currently deployed and away for the holidays? Please visit www.operationjerseycares.org and complete our "Request a Care Package" form. We would be honored to include their unit in our holiday efforts.

We pack throughout the month of November into the first week of December. We welcome donations, handmade cards and letters of encouragement from families, schools, businesses and community organizations.

While they are serving our country, let's make sure they know their country remembers them.

Together, let's bring a little holiday cheer to those who sacrifice so much for all of us. ❤️🤍💙

On behalf of everyone at Operation Jersey Cares, we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the New Jersey State Grange for inviting us to participate in your Annual Session this weekend.

It was truly an honor to share the mission of Operation Jersey Cares, speak about the work our dedicated volunteers do to support our deployed military personnel, veterans and loyal military families, and highlight the importance of remembering those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.

One of the most meaningful moments of the event was having the privilege of introducing Sergeant Major Eddie Neas, Sr., whose 30 years of dedicated service to our country deserve our deepest gratitude and respect.

We were especially touched by the New Jersey State Grange's recognition of Sergeant Major Neas and the presentation of a beautiful Quilt of Honor. This heartfelt gesture was much more than a presentation of a quilt. It was a powerful expression of appreciation, respect and gratitude for a lifetime of service and sacrifice.

Moments like these remind us why our mission is so important. Behind every uniform is a person, a family and a story of commitment to something greater than themselves. Taking the time to recognize and honor that service means more than words can express.

To the officers, members and leadership of the New Jersey State Grange, thank you for your warm hospitality, your generosity and your continued commitment to honoring those who serve our nation.

From all of us at Operation Jersey Cares, thank you for reminding our veterans that their service is never forgotten!

Our deployed servicemen and women are counting on us, and we're counting on YOU!

The requests for care packages from our deployed military members continue to come in, and we need the help of our incredible supporters to meet those needs.

For nearly 20 years, Operation Jersey Cares has been committed to reminding our troops that they are not forgotten, that we appreciate their sacrifices.... and that America stands behind them!

TODAY WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

We are asking individuals, families, businesses, community organizations, and anyone who wants to make a difference to consider helping in one of two ways:

Financial Donations: Monetary contributions help us purchase much-needed supplies and cover the significant shipping costs associated with getting our Big Boy Boxes into the hands of our deployed troops. Donations can be made by either by visiting our website (www.operationjerseycares.org) or by using Venmo.

In-Kind Donations: We are in need of everyday essentials, flyer attached for review and to share with family, friends and colleagues.

As you know, Operation Jersey Cares is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our volunteers generously give their time because we believe those serving our country deserve to know that the people back home care.

These boxes filled with gratitude, encouragement, and a little piece of home.

PLEASE HELP US ANSWER THE CALL!

Whether you can make a financial contribution, donate supplies, organize a collection drive, or simply share this post, your support matters.

Thank you for continuing to support Operation Jersey Cares and the brave men and women who serve our great nation.
