Every year, My family and I attend our local Memorial Day Parade. We dress in red, white and blue and clap when those who are serving march by. It one way that my family and I support our troops. Thank you for our freedom and protecting our country.
At this time of year, Marie Callenders’ also has a way to help me and my family support the troops.
Getting ready to say thank you to our troops for helping to protect our country.
Marie Callender’s Comforts From Home Project partners with the United Service Organizations (USO). The USO is dedicated to bring the comforts of home to those who miss it the most. I loved learning about how the USO makes sure that our deployed troops have a place to celebrate the holidays. Programs like this help bring seasonal meals, company, entertainment and a chance to relax away from the stress of active service.
To help bring the comforts of home to the brave men and women of the U.S. military, specially-marked packages of Marie Callender’s meals and desserts encourage consumers to go online to and enter a code found on the back of the box. Marie Callender’s will make a $.50 donation to the USO Operation Celebration program for each code entered, up to $300,000.
Last year, with consumers’ overwhelming support, Marie Callender’s brought care packages to a very deserving group of servicemen and women stationed overseas through a $250,000 donation to the USO2GO program.

How do you support our troops?
we support our troops by donating goods, writing notes and participating in all local honor services.
What a great program. I love any company (or person) that help support our troops. We need more people/company to truly appreciate what these men and women sacrifice.
That’s a really cool program! Hadn’t heard of it before, but going to make sure the next pot pies we buy are from them!
This sounds like such a great program and I love that Marie Callender’s is donating up to $300,000! Next time I go grocery shopping I’m going to make sure to pick up some of those pot pies and will make sure to enter those donation codes to help show my support!
That sounds like a great programme, and so lovely to hear of the $300k donation too!
My husband tells stories about how the smallest things can make a difference when serving overseas – service men and women give up so much. Even the letter sent from a stranger can make a military person feel a little less homesick.
What a wonderful program from Marie Callender’s! We will be buying from this brand when we head to the grocery store this week!
I’m so happy to hear that a company like Marie Callender’s is doing their part to support our troops. I will definitely keep an eye out for those codes. My dad and husband are veterans so we know how valuable the USO is. 🙂
That’s so awesome what Marie Callender’s is doing! Can’t wait to pick up some pot pies!
