Operation Supply Drop Expands Mission
A mentoring program has been started to highlight, foster and support veteran-owned business, primarily in the video game and entertainment space
Leading video game-themed military charity Operation Supply Drop has announced the expansion of its mission to become the most culturally relevant and generational charity for active duty military and veterans by creating a network of veteran-owned businesses that offer publicity, support, mentoring, partner introductions and strategic advice to startups and companies founded by current or former members of the military. HeroCrate is the first such recipient.
Operation Supply Drop was founded in 2010 by U.S. Army Ranger Captain Stephen “Shanghai Six” Machuga, with a mission to “provide fun where there is none” by sending video game-filled care packages to troops deployed to combat zones and veterans recovering from their injuries.
To date, Operation Supply Drop has raised over $1.5 million USD in donations, games and related gear from across the gaming community and has helped more than 4,000 active duty military members and veterans worldwide.
