THOMASVILLE, Ga. -- Snack-cake brand Tastykake is thanking military families this month. For every Tastykake family pack sold through Nov. 30, the brand will donate 10 cents to Operation Homefront, up to $150,000.
Operation Homefront is a national charity established in 2002 that provides support to families of military service members and wounded warriors. Raising more than $170 million in funding since its inception, the organization offers everything from financial assistance to transitional and permanent housing for military families in need.
"By partnering with Operation Homefront, Tastykake continues its long history of military support, which began during World War II when the brand shipped snack cakes to employees stationed overseas," said Brent Bradshaw, Flowers Foods' vice president of marketing. "Tastykake wants to show its gratitude to those who protect our country and our freedom every day, and we hope Tastykake fans will join us in supporting our military and their families this November," he said.
