School Children Can Show Their Appreciation For Soldiers Through Community Coffee Company's Military Match Program
October 20, 2011-
BATON ROUGE, LA- Children can support our
troops through Community Coffee Company’s Military
Match program by hand-coloring Community Coffee’s official “Thank You” cards. One card will be placed inside each Military
Match gift set box prior to shipment overseas. The cards can be downloaded from
www.CommunityCoffee.com/ThankYou.
The Military Match program provides
an opportunity for friends and family to purchase four bags of traditional Red
Bag™ 16-oz. or 13-oz. Community® ground roast coffee, and in turn the company
will match the order with four bags free. All completed cards can be mailed to Military Match Thank You Cards, Community
Coffee Company, P.O. Box 791,
Baton Rouge, LA 70821.
“We
are grateful to U.S.
military service members, at home and abroad, who protect the freedoms and
privileges enjoyed by all Americans,” said Matt
Saurage, president and fourth-generation family owner of
Community Coffee Company. “The Military Match program is our way of
demonstrating support for those away from home, family and friends during this
time. Since school children have been a part of our company through our
Community Cash for Schools Program for over 20 years, we wanted to give them
the opportunity to be a part of our Military Match initiative as well.”
“As
Veterans Day quickly approaches, we want to share this program with our
customers and encourage all children to color something special for soldiers
who may need a picture and cup of comfort as a reminder of home,” said Saurage.
“Support of the troops in this
fashion is vital to morale. It is always good to see something from home,”
said John D. Burke, recent recipient of a Community Coffee Military Match gift set
box.
In
the past four years, Community Coffee Company has donated over 12,000 pounds of
coffee to troops overseas through this program.
