SAN BERNARDINO >> Over 200 members of the Stater Bros. “Family” of Employees, friends, suppliers and representatives from Operation Community Cares (a local organization that supports troops) gathered at Stater Bros. Corporate Offices and Distribution Center in San Bernardino to prepare 1,000 care packages for local military members currently serving overseas. “We at OCC are so excited to have worked with Stater Bros Charities to continue the mission to boost morale for our men and women overseas," said Ryan Orr, Vice President of Operation Community Cares. "The feedback we continue to get has been overwhelming as to how much a care package can do. To think some simple items sent with love, can lift spirits and make them smile. We are told it saves lives. God Bless Stater Bros. and all they do for our community." Operation Community Cares is an organization that proactively supports the health and welfare of American Servicemen and Women across the globe. Many times, the commitment of service people is forgotten and OCC specializes in programs that help service people to communicate and connect with family, friends and loved ones through the unique web-based environment. They have various programs that aim to support the troops’ personal needs. OCC carries its commitment to service people that are at home as well. For some, returning home can be a very trying and stressful experience. OCC believes that the troops deserve the best. “Stater Bros. has a rich legacy of service to this great nation and a long-standing commitment to the support of our country’s veterans and service members,” said Jack H. Brown, Executive Chairman of Stater Bros. Markets and a Navy Veteran. “I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate Armed Forces Day than by preparing care packages from the Heartland for our local military members to let them know we’re thinking of them and praying that they come home safe...and come home soon." Stater Bros. Charities is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports critical needs in the communities where Stater Bros. employees live and work. Since 2008, Stater Bros. Charities has provided funding to countless local organizations and causes that benefit hunger relief, children’s well-being, education, health, and help for our nation’s veterans. Funds are raised throughout the year from generous customers, supplier friends, and caring members of the Stater Bros. Supermarket Family. For more information, visit staterbros.com.
