Ben Affleck kick-started his holiday cheer over the weekend by giving back
to those in need.

Ben, 36, joined thousands of volunteers at Operation Gratitude, the
nonprofit volunteer organization that annually sends more than 100,000 care
packages and letters to individual members of the U.S. armed services
deployed in hostile regions overseas.

The organization needs to raise an additional $200,000 by year's end to send
the remaining 20,000 care packages. To join Ben and help with the cause,
