OTA & GBU Partner For “Operation Reachout”!

There is never a shortage of packages that need to be sent overseas to our troops and November 2nd, OTA will have 5,000 care packages to send to our troops overseas!  Operation Reachout is a program GBU started 12 years age that has been growing every year.  Last year, they sent 2,200 boxes to our deployed troops and set a goal to more than double that effort in 2019.  As OTA has been providing support to our troops for 15 years, has a logistical process to accommodate large-scale projects, and is only a few miles away from GBU, they found a great way to combine efforts to achieve that goal!  Over 200 volunteers will participate in the program.  Click on the link below to learn more about Operation Reachout on KDKA TV’s Pittsburgh Today Live Show!
