In addition to her work as an orthodontist, Dr. Deborah Fox assists with fundraising and volunteering efforts at Operation Gratitude. A nonprofit organization committed to sending individually addressed care packages to servicemen and women, Operation Gratitude has shipped more than one million care packages over the past 13 years. In order to send more than 150,000 packages every year, Operation Gratitude relies on its network of volunteers, who contribute in a wide variety of ways.

Volunteers can also organize fundraising events or sponsor collection drives, which have the potential to get entire communities involved in thanking the troops. For crafts-minded individuals, Operation Gratitude welcomes donations of homemade items such as bandanas, knit/crochet scarves, paracord survival bracelets, and greeting cards.
