Written by corporateJuly 18, 2008 - 27 TONS of good-will treats to California Guard members and their families!
SupportOurTroops.Org, CFC#31529, is right now delivering shipping 27 TONS popcorn good-will gifts to California national guard units and families. That’s 60 pallets. $224,538 worth! And it’s all marked with colorful “thank-you” signage. And that’s on top of hundreds of tons shipped by SupportOurTroops.Org to deployed California Troops all around the world.
“Who are these ‘troops?’ ” said Martin Boire, Chairman of SupportOurTroops.Org. “Why, they are our neighbors, who are deployed to protect us. What a fun way to show them how much we think of them, right now tractor-trailers are up and down the roadways the length of the state delivering pallets of free microwave popcorn treats for kids camps and events. Each case of popcorn comes labeled with colorful ‘thank-you’ signage. What a tremendous gesture of good will. A warm positive way to show them how much we care.”
These days a lot of the troops who are deployed to protect us and our families are our neighbors -- members of the guard. And our deployed neighbors have spouses and kids here at home. This is a simple fun way to show them we care. Especially their kids. We want them to know that we care about them and know that they are there. These free microwave popcorn treats will be used at summer camps for their kids, retreats which give returning troops and their families some decompression time together, and at family assistance centers which help with various needs.
California Support Our Troops® member Nancy Cunningham said “We want them surrounded with expressions of good will from us. This microwave popcorn is a simple fun wholesome expression of our awareness of, belief in, and gratitude for their spouses and parents. It is a simple easy way for people to get involved”
