Starting this November, the Hertrich Family of Automobile Dealerships is hosting the Seventh Annual Snack Pack the Truck, benefiting the United Service Organizations.

Hertrich packs trucks with supplies to be sent to USO airport lounges, providing comfort and sustenance to Active Duty, reserves, and National Guard members as they travel to various missions worldwide.

The USO Center Operations and Programs Manager Cari Matthews said, “Their (Hertrich) support allows us to provide morale-boosting programs at our USO center and support activities such as those for our service members who work long shifts on the flight line, ‘Friends of the Flight line.’ In my role, I have the honor and pleasure to see how much Hertrich’s generosity means to the men and women at Dover Air Force Base.”

Through Dec. 8 contributions can be delivered to any of Hertrich’s 23 dealerships or 12 Collision Center locations and placed in a collection truck. Monetary donations are accepted via drop-off in each dealership or collision center in cash boxes. Participation in the donation program requires no purchase, and all proceeds will go directly to the USO.

The below supply items are accepted for donations (all drinks and snacks need to be single-serve size and in cases):

• Water Bottles (24-Pack)
