In 2004 Operation Troop Appreciation (OTA) was founded to serve Active-Duty Troops deployed during the war in the Middle East with their own specific requests like replacement boots destroyed after a battle, Under Armor® T-shirts and more. Today, OTA supports not only our soldiers currently serving, but our veterans returning home who are struggling financially, physically and mentally through our Veterans Welcome Home Program. The Welcome Home program serves veterans residing in Western Pennsylvania. In 2022, OTA hit a milestone of serving 200,000+ troops and veterans since its inception. Operation Troop Appreciation is 100% volunteer run with 90% of donations going directly to soldiers and veterans.
