Hershey Dental Associates, LLC. employees are busy making paracord bracelets and knitting scarves for Operation Gratitude. Their knitting group gets together at 4:30 p.m. at The Perking Point at least the first and third Thursday of the month. It is open to anyone that wants to participate or learn.

Operation Gratitude sends care packages to troops overseas. The staff decided to make items to send to them and not just candy from their candy buyback program that they do every year.

The Perking Point location: 257 Hershey Rd., Hummelstown, PA. For more information, email Jhane Kunkel at [email protected] or visit OperationGratitude.com and Kunkelsaurus' Knittervention on Facebook.
