Operation Christmas Stocking
Sponsored by Operation Give and Stars for Stripes

OPERATION CHRISTMAS STOCKING is a project being carried out by Operation Give and
Stars for Stripes, two “America Supports You” organizations who work throughout the year
to support American troops. Last year we sent more than Six Ton’s of stockings to our
troops in Afghanistan.

This year help us send more than Twenty Ton’s of Christmas Stockings to our Troops in Iraq. Operation Give and FedEx
will provide FREE Shipping to our warehouse and to Iraq to be distributed to our troops.
WE MUST GET STARTED EARLY BECAUSE OF THE TIME IT TAKES FOR SHIPMENTS TO REACH IRAQ!
You can make your own stockings, buy stockings, gift bags or decorate boxes. For more information or to receive FREE
Shipping information to our warehouse and on to Iraq email to operationgive@comcast.net and we will provide the
shipping information. Packages will be shipped free of charge to:
Operation Give 1775 West 1500 South Salt Lake City, Utah 84104 .
