Overview
Mission
Operation: Quiet Comfort exists to provide physical and emotional support to America's military men and women while they are serving in harm's way. We also provide support to those who care for them. We collect, package, and ship supplies to the U.S. Military men and women serving abroad. Our troops need items like hygiene and grooming products, clothing, entertainment, and support from the home front. We also provide much needed emotional and morale support through care packages and cards. For many of our brave heroes, they are away from home for the first time. The care packages that we send let our brave heroes know that our nation truly cares about them and appreciates their sacrifices for our freedom.
What it reported doing in 2025
Provide care items to military units overseas.

The verdict
