Cinnabon Partners with Operation Gratitude to Send "Hugs from Home" Holiday Care Packages to Troops!

Operation Gratitude annually sends 100,000-plus care packages filled with snacks, entertainment items and personal letters of appreciation addressed to individually named U.S. service members deployed in harm's way.


From October 1 through 31, Guests can support Operation Gratitude by making donations at participating Cinnabon bakeries. For every $1.00 they contribute, Guests will receive a $1.00 "Cinnabuck" valid on their next visit.

Individuals can also use the Twitter hashtag #cinnabonsaysthx to send Tweets for Troops. For every hashtag tweet, Cinnabon will chip in 10 cents to Operation Gratitude, for a maximum donation of $10,000.

In November and December, Cinnabon will also team up with Operation Gratitude to include Kellogg's® Cinnabon snack bars, Cinnabon Cream of WheatTM from B&G Foods®, Cinnabon kettle roasted nuts from Mellace Family Brands® and Cinnabon candy canes from Spangler Candy®  in the Operation Gratitude Holiday Care Packages.
