4Patriots Donates Survival Food to For the Troops

Nashville, TN , United States – August 24, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —
In 2005, Paula Cornell noticed that her husband had failed to brush his teeth one morning, so she reminded him about it. His response was, “It’s no big deal. I didn’t brush my teeth for a year in Vietnam.” He then told her about a number of other items he lived without during his tour of duty.
Bothered that Americans who were laying their lives on the line were forced to live without many of the basic commodities we take for granted back in the States, Cornell and Janie Josephson launched an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization called For the Troops.
Now, many volunteers put together “We Care” packages for active U.S. military service men and women at the Simi Valley, Calif., storefront office, where donations from the community and beyond are dropped off or received by mail.
Today, Nashville, Tenn.-based 4Patriots LLC announced that it has donated a three-month supply of survival food to For the Troops, as well as additional food items from its Food4Patriots emergency food product.
“While we make product and monetary donations to a variety of organizations, we are especially proud to benefit organizations that support our military members and their families,” said Allen Baler, Partner at 4Patriots. Baler’s company provides a variety of products that help people become more self-reliant and independent.
“The courageous men and women who serve our country so faithfully deserve only the best, and it’s wonderful that people such as Paula Cornell, Janie Josephson and all their volunteers put so much time and energy into helping the men and women who keep us safe every day.”
The 4Patriots donation to For the Troops included a three-month survival food kit (450 servings), an oatmeal case lot (96 servings), a fruit kit (112 servings), a deluxe dessert kit (95 servings) and a coffee kit (600 cups), as well as 6,479 decks of playing cards.
“Of course, we would not be able to make these kinds of donations if it were not for the support of our customers,” Baler added. “They make it all possible.”
Among the other organizations that benefit from 4Patriots donations are:
Fisher House Foundation, which operates homes across the country where families of active duty soldiers and veterans alike can stay at no cost while their loved one is receiving medical treatment.
Operation Homefront, which aids military families during difficult financial times by providing food, auto and home repair, vision care, travel and transportation, moving assistance, essential home items, and financial help.
A Soldier’s Child Foundation, which provides meaningful birthday gifts to the children of fallen U.S. military members and offers mentorship programs and college scholarships.
RIP Medical Debt, which aims to abolish medical debt. The 4Patriots donation is earmarked for active U.S. military personnel and veterans.
4Patriots has a history of helping people in need through contributions to charitable organizations. The company has donated supplies of emergency food to flooding victims in the Houston area through the Houston Food Bank; to victims of tornadoes in Arkansas through the Arkansas Rice Depot; to blizzard victims in Massachusetts through the Worcester Food Bank; to people struggling to put food on the table during the holidays through the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee; and much more.
“Because we spend much of our time and energy urging people to prepare for disasters, we believe the least we can do is help out when Mother Nature unleashes her fury,” Baler said. “Our hearts go out to the victims of these extreme weather events and we encourage everyone who is able to donate to food banks across the country to do the same.”
The food in the Food4Patriots survival kits can be prepared in less than 20 minutes and requires only boiling water. It’s contained in easy-to-store Mylar pouches, which keep out air, moisture and light.
Among the company’s other products are the Patriot Power Generator 1500, a solar-powered generator featuring a lithium-iron-phosphate battery rated for 2,000-plus lifecycles; Water4Patriots, personal and tabletop water-filtration systems that purify water from virtually any source; Alexapure Breeze, an air purification system that removes up to 99.97 percent of dangerous airborne contaminants from homes and offices, including allergens, dander, bacteria, viruses and odors; SurvivalSeeds4Patriots, America-grown heirloom and non-GMO seeds; and Patriot Power Hub, a portable device that jump-starts almost any vehicle.
