Help Send 5 Tons of Oreos to Deployed Troops Through Operation Oreo

Each year during the month of June, Alpharetta Methodist, members of area United Methodist Churches and patriotic citizens collect Oreos to send to members of the armed forces who are deployed in dangerous spots around the world.

Since 2009, Alpharetta Methodist — with the help of the community and United Methodist Churches in the North Georgia District — has sent 30 tons of Oreos to service members deployed around the globe. Read the story behind the Oreos.

You can help! Operation Oreo is one small – and easy! — way to say thank you to the brave men and women who sacrifice so much to keep us free, and to let them know they are in our constant prayers.

Operation Oreo 2019 Goal & How To Help

Our goal is to celebrate Operation Oreo’s 10th anniversary by collecting 5 tons of Oreos by June 30, 2019.

You can say thank you and send a taste of home to those who stand in harm’s way to protect our freedoms. Simply purchase Oreos and attach a thank-you note to each package of cookies.

• Bring the Oreos with you to worship on Sundays in June or on Patriotic Sunday, June 30, when we’ll dedicate the Oreos. Location: AFUMC, 69 N Main Street, Alpharetta.
• Or drop off your Oreos on weekdays (Monday-Thursday, 9-5, or Friday, 9-4) at the Alpharetta Methodist (69 North Main Street in downtown Alpharetta). Please bring the cookies to the covered drop-off entrance in our main parking lot off Cumming Street. If you need help unloading your cookie donation, let us know when you plan to arrive by calling 770-475-5576, and we’ll arrange for a member of our maintenance team to assist you.
