Patriotic Pies: Military Charities
By Averitt Careers on Jan 23, 2024 12:00:00 PM
At Averitt, our commitment to supporting veterans and active military service members is at the forefront of our values. We recently had the honor of participating in some remarkable community service projects, each designed to bring joy and appreciation to those who have selflessly served our country.
We’re honored to have played a role in a special mission – transporting Moon Pies from fellow Tennessee-based Chattanooga Bakery to the soldiers stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. This initiative is part of the Patriotic Pie project by Chattanooga Bakery, where schools engage in fundraising efforts by selling boxes of Moon Pies. Purchasers could choose to send their orders directly to military personnel, bringing a bit of sweetness to soldiers.
This year, 10,000 boxes of Moon Pies were purchased. We were excited and honored to use our military-themed trailer to deliver the Moon Pies to Fort Campbell in late November. Missions like these further our commitment to our nation’s servicemen and servicewomen. We take pride in being part of a legacy that spans over a century, focusing on community and shared moments of kindness.
Are you a veteran or a military spouse looking for a place to jumpstart your career? Or are you just looking for a team that is committed to giving back? Averitt might be the place for you!
