Troops Direct Snack & Drink Donation to the Units
20 May 2021

Marine and Sailors from MCAS Beaufort and MCRD Parris Island showed up, at Outdoor Recreation, in large numbers Thursday morning to load up trucks with various snacks and drinks for their units.

The snacks, which ranged from granola bars to sunflower seeds, and drinks including muscle milk and propel water by the caseloads, were part of an incredibly generous donation made by Troops Direct. Established in 2010, Troops Direct has been supplying semi-truck loads of items to Active Duty for 10+ years.

The first such delivery of this magnitude, it was met with great enthusiasm and appreciation by every unit that attended. Many Marines commented that this was well above and beyond their expectations and that they were relieved to be able to provide these items to every member of their unit.

We want to give a huge shout out to Troops Direct for providing drinks and snacks to our Active Duty and event patrons! We are overwhelmed with gratitude for your support of our military community in Beaufort. Thank you for all that you do!
