  HERO PACKS

HERO PACKS

 

Hero Packs are OMK knapsacks filled with a variety of items from the OMK Partner Agencies, which are given to military youth as a "Thank You" for the sacrifices that they make while their parents are deployed.  OMK has presented Hero Packs to over 45,000 Military Youth since 2004.

 

Hero Packs contain a variety of items intended to provide children with fun activities and ways to stay connected to their deployed parents.  In addition, information is provided to parents regarding local support programs for children and families.

 

For information on the Hero Pack initiative in your state, or to assemble Hero Packs for Military youth contact your State OMK Team. 

 

If your organization would like to make donations of materials for Hero Packs please contact your State OMK Team or email Support@operationmilitarykids.org.  Items such as stationary, stamps, journals and disposable cameras are always welcome.
