Join Us in Giving Back
Grand Valley Power is an official drop-off location for care package items. Each month, Operation Interdependence sends over 1,000 care packages to troops overseas and they need our help with collecting supplies. All care package items can be brought to the GVP Main Lobby from July 11 - August 17. In addition, Operation Interdependence is always in need of thank you notes for our brave soldiers – a care package is never sent without a thank you note! So, please consider writing a few notes to our troops to thank them for their service. Paper and pencils will be provided in the GVP Breakroom and Main Lobby. Coloring pages will be available for our mini artists (see below). Thank you for your help in supporting our troops!
