The Berrien County Sheriff’s Department has received the gift of gratitude for its efforts to keep the community safe. The department tells us on Thursday it received a care package for each deputy from Operation Gratitude, a non-profit Military and First Responder support organization. The group has sent more than 2.1 million packages to police, military, and other first responder groups since 2003. The care packages received this week by Berrien County deputies included food, entertainment, hygiene, and handmade items, along with personal letters of support. The care packages were sent to Operation Gratitude by donors from every state in the nation. It took hundreds of volunteers to put them together. The sheriff’s department thanked Operation Gratitude for its generosity.
