Starting in November, the Hertrich Family of Automobile Dealerships will host the Seventh Annual Snack Pack the Truck benefiting the United Service Organizations.
Hertrich packs trucks with supplies to be sent to USO airport lounges, providing comfort and sustenance to active-duty, reserves and National Guard service members as they travel to various missions worldwide.
Hertrich’s supply drive has profoundly impacted the USO and military families. The USO Center Operations and Programs Manager Cari Matthews said, “Their support allows us to provide morale-boosting programs at our USO center and support activities such as those for our service members who work long shifts on the flight line, Friends on the Flight Line. In my role, I have the honor and pleasure to see how much Hertrich’s generosity means to the men and women at Dover Air Force Base.”
Through Friday, Dec. 8. contributions can be delivered to all Hertrich locations. Monetary donations are also accepted via drop-off to cash boxes in each dealership or collision center.
The listed snack items are accepted for donations: water bottles (24-pack); Goldfish crackers; single-serving packs of pretzels; variety packs of chips; variety packs of nuts, animal crackers; Fig Newtons; Teddy Grahams; microwavable popcorn bags; Bumble Bee Snack on the Run tuna salad kit with crackers; Nutella & Go cups; Chef Boyardee microwavable cups; Campbell Soup microwavable cups; macaroni and cheese microwavable cups only; Monster energy drinks; Powerade; Vitamin Waters; ramen noodle bowls or cups, any variety; Oreo cookies; Chips Ahoy; Clorox wipes; and paper towels.
All drinks and snacks need to be single-serve size and in cases.
Hertrich will also be at the Lewes Redner’s to collect snack donations from shoppers from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 11 and 12.
