Jerky Up! For Our Troops

September 09, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
House of Jerky is doing something incredible for the upcoming holiday season. Their new campaign, Jerky Up! For Our Troops, will be helping our troops who are overseas. House of Jerky will match all donations sent, so that every soldier can get a care package.

House of Jerky is an Indiana based Company that produces some of the finest flavorful beef jerky customers will find. This company has taken an active role in assuring that our troops overseas receive care packages from home. Taking care of the troops who guard our freedom is something that House of Jerky is very proud of. House of Jerky receives many letters and e-mails from our troops, thanking them for the packages, and letting the owners know that jerky is a top item on their wish lists. Many of these Soldiers have signed up with Soldiers Angels, a non profit organization that supports our troops. Soldiers Angels send letters and care packages to their adopted soldiers who are deployed in many different places. Many of those Soldiers request jerky, from House of Jerky.

House of Jerky has partnered with Soldiers Angels, and donates a percentage of their profits to them. These donated profits, along with the care packages, jerky, and letters keep our troops going and their moral high. It's important to show the men and women who risk their lives to protect our country how important they are, and how proud we are of them. House of Jerky has been working diligently to do this, sending care packages, letters, and featuring the troops' letters and comments on their website.

As Christmas approaches, House of Jerky is gearing up to send more of the delicious jerky our troops are requesting. House of Jerky is asking you to participate in the 'Jerky Up! For Our Troops' program to help send as many packages of jerky as possible to our deployed troops. For a small price, customers can make a soldier's day. Visit www.houseofjerky.net, to read letters and notes of thank you from the soldiers. For this Holiday Season, House of Jerky is offering an opportunity to “Donate and send a ¼ pound of jerky to our troops for Christmas. When customers purchase the package to send to our troops, House of Jerky will match your donation. It only costs $10.50 to make a Soldier smile. Customers can also include a personalized note that will be printed out on a holiday card for the soldier who receives your package.

Janie Honeycutt, Owner of House of Jerky, says, “We will be sending our 2 oz. bags of jerky, as this means more packages to spread around to all of the soldiers. We want everyone to be able to have a yummy treat. So, when customers purchase a ¼ pound for a soldier, we will be sending 4 of the 2 oz bags. We realize there are a lot of soldiers, so we want to gather as many bags as we can to send.”

House of Jerky will send out all bags donated on December 1, to insure our troops receive their jerky in time for Christmas. Soldiers Angels will provide us with units to send them to. Customers can include a bag of jerky and a personalized note to go with the many others who will be sending a care package. This season, please help House of Jerky make a difference to the soldiers who are away from their parents, wives and husbands, children and friends at Christmas time.

Beef Jerky is one of our troops' top requested items. House of Jerky's delicious jerky has become a popular favorite. Soldiers will say that receiving letters from home, notes of love from people, and care packages is one of the most important things to them. They look forward each day to mail time, and we want to make sure that each soldier receives a package this Christmas. Let’s rock their world! 'Tis the season. Christmas is a time for giving, and a great time to let our troops know that we're thinking about them, and that we're proud of them.

Even though our troops are very busy, many take time to write. Many of their notes can be found on the Jerky News at http://www.beefjerkyhouse.com/blog, where House of Jerky keeps customers updated. This is also where House of Jerky will post the number of bags they send on December 1. Take a few minutes out of your busy day to visit www.houseofjerky.net and donate a great package of delicious jerky to a soldier. Let's make this a wonderful Holiday Season for the men and women who protect us every day of their lives.
