Color Goody Bags

Coloring Goody Bags is a simple, inexpensive, fun activity for people of all ages. All that you need is a Brown Lunch Bag, Crayons, Markers, About 10 Minutes ...

and A Little Bit of Imagination!

Here are a couple samples of exemplary Goody Bags we have seen:

After you have colored your Goody Bags, send them to:

Write Letters

Many of the Thank You letters we have received told us:

"To get a Thank You letter, from a total stranger, is one of the most meaningful things to the men and women out here working to keep everyone safe."

The Thank You Letters that are put into every Goody Bag we ship out are hand-written, personal testaments to remind our First Responders, Veterans, and Active Duty Military just how much of an impact they are making doing what they do.

Here are some samples of touching Thank You Letters Operation Goody Bag has shipped in the past:

To write your own Thank You Letters, download the template from the Downloads For Goody Bags web-page.

Host an Event

Since its inception in 2001, Operation Goody Bag has been a community project in Paramus, NJ. In recent years, however, other communities from across the nation have found out about us and pitched in. It was through the help of these other communities that we were able to achieve 200,000 Goody Bags.

But We Are Not Done Yet!

As long as there are still Veterans, First Responders, and Active Duty Military, Operation Goody Bag will committ to making sure they all know just how thankful we all really are. To spread our message, we have gone to other schools, community centers, and meetings to put on presentations.


YOU TOO can help us spread the word by having us put on one of our shows at your location. This can be as simple as a short presentation or a complete "Night of Remembrance & Hope" show recreated just for you!

To have Operation Goody Bag present at your location, please Contact Us with your Name, Location, and Desired Time.
