OPERATION RANGER

Founded in 2002, the Operation Ranger program awards rugged, off-road utility vehicles to our nation’s emergency responders. To date, more than 400 vehicles have been awarded across all 50 states. The Operation Ranger program exists both to recognize the service of our nation’s emergency responders and to provide a versatile, practical vehicle that will enhance emergency response capability at the community level. These first responders are critical links in providing humanitarian aid in times of crisis. Gifts In Kind International is proud to manage the Operation Ranger Program on behalf of U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co., an Altria Company.
