Joe’s Gold and Silver is currently sponsoring Operation Gratitude, an organization dedicated to showing appreciation for our soldiers’ commitment to and personal sacrifices for our country. While members of America’s armed forces are constantly putting the needs of our country before their own, Operation Gratitude aims to let every soldier know that his or her immense dedication and hard work does not going unnoticed. This volunteer-based corporation’s mission is to remind each soldier of the good wishes and support coming to them from civilians all over the US. Operation Gratitude sends individualized care packages complete with food items, hygiene products, entertainment gifts, and personal letters of appreciation to Wounded Warriors and deployed members of all US military branches. These packages truly help to brighten soldiers’ days, and provide them with much-needed comforts of life back home.
So how does Joe’s Gold and Silver play a role in this program? Operation Gratitude is completely privately funded, and thus relies solely on private donations. Here’s how Joe’s contributes to lifting the morale of our troops: First, a customer can bring in unwanted gold or sterling silver items to any Joe’s location. Next, all he or she must do is mention Operation Gratitude, and not only will Joe’s pay the customer in cash for the value of his or her items, but Joe’s Gold and Silver will also donate 20% of that amount directly to Operation Gratitude. Customers can even go a step further, and donate their own portion of the proceeds to Operation Gratitude. Joe’s will send a letter acknowledging receipt of that amount for the customer’s tax purposes. An act this simple makes such a difference for those who give their lives for our country!
This is a definite win-win deal for both the troops as well as anyone who trades gold or silver for cash. Just by selling old gold and silver items to Joe’s for cash, patrons are able to contribute to Operation Gratitude. Donating couldn’t be any more effortless! Joe’s customers are able to walk out the door with a pocket full of cash, topped off with the satisfying feeling that their actions are supporting a worthy cause.
