Wish List Items

There are several ways you can help! Check out the opportunities below:

Gift Cards:

We are always in need of gift cards for the families. Gift cards are very useful as they allow the service members and their families to purchase exact items they need or enjoy a meal away from the hospital. These are popular stores although any big name chain or restaurant can be used: Walmart, Target, Applebees, Starbucks, Subway, Dunkin’ Donuts, Walgreen/CVS, or general Visa/MC. We recommend denominations of $10-25. These can be mailed to Operation Ward 57, PO Box 80055, Seattle, WA 98108.
