Passengers’ in-kind donations help support service men and women around the world
ATLANTA, 2018-Jan-19 — /EPR Retail News/ — Paradies Lagardère, the North American travel retail and restaurateur leader, is proud to announce that its customers donated 1.7 million items of need in 2017 to our military service men and women around the globe through the Treat Our Troops program. This is almost 500,000 more items than donated in 2016!
Paradies Lagardère’s Treat Our Troops program provides travelers, as well as airline and airport employees, the opportunity to purchase goods – from socks and snacks to phone cards and sundries – which are then distributed to military personnel overseas through the USO and other military service organizations. The program also includes free meals for troops from Memorial Day to Independence Day, and “pay it forward” opportunities in which customers donate meals for active or retired military personnel.
