September 24, 2024 , Auburn Hills, Mich. – Last week, the Jeep® brand and the USO (United Service Organizations) joined forces at Stellantis North America Headquarters in Auburn Hills to assemble holiday care packages for service members deployed overseas. On Tuesday, Sept. 17, over 150 Stellantis employees helped assemble over 10,000 holiday care packages.
“The Jeep brand has a long-standing relationship with the USO and the outpouring of support by our volunteers is one more way we all come together to stand behind our troops,” said Bob Broderdorf, senior vice president of Jeep North America. “From donating Jeep vehicles to USO locations, to supporting USO gaming efforts, to participating in care package events like this one, we want to continue to do everything that we can to help the USO strengthen the well-being of service members and their families.”
“We are grateful to Jeep for being such an incredible partner for the past 15 years,” said Larissa Rydin, USO Vice President of Corporate Alliances. “These care packages make such a difference for our service members when they are stationed far from home, away from their family and friends during the holiday season.”
The USO Care Package Program is designed to provide service members with a connection to home and each package is designed to best suit the needs of military men and women. This year’s holiday care package includes essential toiletries, holiday socks, games, snacks, and a Jeep brand® reversible beanie specifically requested by troops.
Items in Holiday Care Package:
- Bag
- Jeep® brand beanie
- Hoist Hydration powder
- Instant Coffee
- Jack Links jerky
- Mini M&Ms®
- Holiday candy
- Lip balm
- Playing cards
- Holiday socks
- USB powdered holiday lights
Service members will receive these reminders of home this holiday season, as many of them spend this special time of year away from loved ones in service to the U.S.
Jeep® has supported the USO’s mission to help strengthen the nation’s heroes since 2008.
