HOST AN EVENT

Collect Donations & Fundraise for OCIB

People across the nation have successfully held donation drives for OCIB.  Collecting in-kind/product donations and encouraging monetary donations at the same time is ideal.

​

Product Collection Drive: 

You can help us collect products that we pack in our care packages. 

 

Prepare for a 2 week donation drive by passing out flyers that include the OCIB donation wishlitst, donation collection dates, and information about our organization. 

 

Decorate multiple collection bins and place them in various rooms of your school or company to collect the products we use in our care packages.  

 

Send the collected items to us for inclusion in our care packages.  Because we will not be able to subsidize the shipment of items to our location, please factor this cost in your project.  (You may also want to direct donors to purchase items online from an Amazon/Target/or Walmart wishlist you create.)

​​

Read our very important, detailed DONATION INSTRUCTIONS. 

​​

Fundraise:  

While collecting product donations, encourage donors to make a monetary donation online at www.operationcourage.org/donate to support postage costs.  

 

Without postage funds, we cannot ship the collected items to their intended recipients.  Each care package weighing about 8-10 lbs. costs us nearly $25 to ship. 

​​

Send all donations directly to us at the following address:

OCIB, 9921 Carmel Mtn. Rd. San Diego, CA 92129​​​

Have OCIB Come to You

Operation Courage is Beautiful has extensive experience in the San Diego area working with medium and large businesses and organizations to host packing events at their location.  We are open to working directly or with 3rd party event companies.  We can provide multiple areas of involvement, including letter writing, sorting of supplies, packing of supplies, decoration of boxes, and more.  We work with partners to make their event a success.  Our host will introduce our organization, share information about our military service women and our care package recipients, and answer any questions.  Once volunteers arrive, we guide volunteers into areas in which they may be involved.  We bring all the supplies needed to make the event happen.
