The GBU Foundation is funded by GBU Life and the enthusiastic generosity of our GBU Districts, donors, corporate sponsors and supporters like you.
Sending a piece of home to our deployed troops.
For the past 17 years, GBU Life, with help from our many community volunteers and member donors, has packed and shipped care packages to send to deployed US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Over the life of the program, GBU has sent more than 37,000 care packages to deployed troops.
GBU Life also partners with local, non-profit, Operation Troop Appreciation to provide funding and volunteers to support their very similar mission.
