First of all, thank you so much for your
generous support of Operation Smile.
Kind people like you make it all possible!
As you begin a project, make sure you reach
out to your regional Student Programs
associate (see the box below for their
contact info). You can also send an email
to
student.programs@operationsmile.org.
Q: Many service projects involving making
or collecting items. Where do they go?
A: Currently, items are being shipped with
mission cargo to many countries. While
we’re unable to track your specific
donations to a medical mission site, ask
your Student Programs associate if any of
your peers are heading to a medical mission.
They might be able to bring your items to
the site – and snap photos of them in use!
Q: Where should I send items I made or
collected for Operation Smile?
A: We’d love for you to send it to our global
headquarters: Operation Smile, 3641 Faculty
Blvd. Virginia Beach, Virginia, 23453.
Q: Why are you only requesting single-
layer fleece-knotted blankets, not double-
layer?
A: Well, most of the places we work are not
very cold, and a single-layer fleece blanket
will still be cozy for our patients. Plus, by
only creating single-layer blankets, the same
amount of materials you normally would
have used will now go twice as far!
Instructions are included in this packet.
