Prior to each school year, Thanks To Yanks assists Operation Home Front with their Back to School Brigade by collecting items that have been donated at various Dollar Tree stores. These items are then delivered to military bases and family readiness groups for distribution to children of our military.

Thanks To Yanks is a local volunteer organization that assists military families whenever there is a need. They hold an annual tribute dinner for military families on 9/11 and this year will hold their first Family Fun Walk on October 19th.  The Family Fun Walk will raise funds and awareness of the needs of our military,veterans, their families and the programs that support them.  For information or to register for the walk, please visit http://www.thankstoyanks.org or friend them on Facebook.
