August 6, 2013 — At Operation USA, much of our work is made possible by the generosity of our corporate partners. As a result of significant in-kind donations and sponsorships, we are able to deliver much-needed supplies to communities in need around the world. In recent months, domestic and international shipments delivered relief for tornado victims, humanitarian organizations, health and medical groups and more both here in the United States and in foreign nations. Here’s a brief overview of what left our warehouse recently:
