November 16, 2015 - The office staff at the office of Kyle S.Coffin, DDS made a contribution to the benefit of U.S. Forces overseas last week by way of Operation Gratitude. Tonya Mince, office manager, stated there are so many troops in remote areas around the world where even the most basic of amenities are unavailable. Many troops who have been overseas for over 18 months in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan, and were expected to return for Christmas, have just had their time there extended.
Dr. Coffin and his office staff saw there was a need which needed attention and got to work.
"We just started thinking about things we could do over the holiday season, and we realized nobody in Center was doing this," said Mince
Items collected include such items as non-perishable food, sunscreen, Halloween candy, deodorant, coffee, and insect repellent.
Packages were prepared on Friday, November 13, 2015 and according to Dr. Coffin 84 lbs in all were shipped out.
According to the Operation Gratitude website, Operation Gratitude annually sends 150,000+ care packages filled with snacks, entertainment, hygiene and hand-made items, plus personal letters of appreciation, to New Recruits, Veterans, First Responders, Wounded Warriors, Care Givers and to individually named U.S. Service Members deployed overseas. Their mission is to lift the spirits and meet the evolving needs of our Active Duty and Veteran communities, and provide volunteer opportunities for all Americans to express their appreciation to members of our Military. Each package contains donated product valued at $75-100 and costs the organization $15 to assemble and ship. Since its inception in 2003, Operation Gratitude volunteers have shipped more than One Million Care Packages.
Another program which the office staff is working to benefit is Operation Christmas Child. More information can be found on Shelby County Today here
