Press Release Summary: The Carolina Sauce company has launched Operation Sauce Drop, a program to send free gift boxes of hot sauces to active-duty US military personnel stationed abroad.

Press Release Body: The Carolina Sauce Company has launched Operation Sauce Drop to send free gift boxes of hot sauces from North Carolina and elsewhere to active-duty US military personnel stationed abroad. Servicemen and women can request a free gift box by selecting from four different-themed gift boxes featuring North Carolina sauces, Buffalo wing sauces, hot sauces and more. The Carolina Sauce Company then ships the gift boxes to the troops, also at no charge, thanks to donations collected on the Carolina Sauce website.

According to Gloria Cabada-Leman, president and co-founder of the Durham-based Carolina Sauce Company, the response from military personnel and their families has been quite appreciative, and she plans to post their thanks and comments on the Carolina Sauce website. Ms. Cabada-Leman says the inspiration for Operation Sauce Drop came from talking with her brother-in-law, who has served three tours in Iraq and mentioned the bland Army food and lack of spicy sauces. “I thought the troops might appreciate the chance to pick out a free treat for themselves to help make mealtime more enjoyable,” she stated. “By pooling together donations from people who want to help, and by using the Carolina Sauce website and infrastructure, we hope to send a free gift box of zesty sauces to as many servicemen and women as possible.” To learn more about Operation Sauce Drop or make a contribution, visit http://carolinasauce.stores.yahoo.net/opsadr.html.
