August Commissary Campaign Helps Women's Memorial

The annual "Salute the Women in the Military" campaign begins Aug. 6 at participating military commissaries and runs through Sept. 9. The month-long campaign generates funds for the Women In Military Service For America Memorial Foundation. When you purchase selected items from a commissary, participating manufacturers donate a portion of the proceeds to the Foundation. Since the "Salute the Women in the Military" Commissary Campaign began 17 years ago, more than $732,569 has been generated for the Foundation.

This year's participating manufacturers include: Abbott Nutrition, Bird’s Eye, KAO Brands, Marcal Small Steps, Mars Brands, Newman's Own, The Dial Corporation, Schiff, Schwan’s Consumer Brands (Red Baron) and Sunny Delight. The campaign is coordinated and executed by C. Lloyd Johnson, an Acosta Company, and hosted by the Defense Commissary Agency.

The campaign also offers eligible commissary patrons the chance to participate in a drawing for a special gift. This year's gift is a commemorative military tribute boxed pen. Information and campaign brochures are available at your local commissary.
