We strongly support anyone within the hot & spicy food business who cares enough about their fellow man to donate their time and/or money for worthy causes. Whether you support the decision for our military to do what it does around the world, the least we should do is support the men in uniform who sacrifice so much for the rest of us. The Carolina Sauce Company has set up a great program called Operation Sauce Drop to supply our men and women in uniform with some well-deserved hot sauce. Here’s the skinny on their operation:

Operation Sauce Drop

The mission of Operation Sauce Drop is to deliver great-tasting sauces to US military personnel stationed abroad, free of charge. Why are we doing this? Because we would like to thank our brave troops for their sacrifices with a small token of our appreciation, and perhaps a taste of home. We have assembled four different themed gift boxes of sauces, from mild and zesty to hot and fiery, from which any serviceman or servicewoman stationed at an APO or FPO address may choose, and we will ship their choice of gift box to their APO or FPO address at absolutely no cost to them whatsoever.

You can contribute to Operation Sauce Drop directly through PayPal by clicking here: MAKE A DONATION

You can also contribute to Operation Sauce Drop through our online store using MasterCard, Visa, Discover Card or PayPal, by clicking on the “Contribute Here” link below and selecting a contribution amount. If you prefer to contribute by phone, simply call us at 919-765-0143 and we can accept payment using Visa, MasterCard or Discover Card. To contribute to Operation Sauce Drop by mail, please send a check or money order payable to “Carolina Sauce Company”, include the notation “Operation Sauce Drop”, and mail the check to our address shown on the Info page.

If you are a member of the armed forces and have an APO or FPO address, or if you would like a member of the armed forces with an APO/FPO address to receive a gift box, just click on the “Military Sign-Up” link below to select a gift box and enter the shipping address. Gift boxes will be shipped once a week on a “first come, first serve” basis, as sufficient contributions are received to cover the cost of the gift box and shipping via USPS Priority Mail. Please select only 1 gift box per recipient, so that as many military personnel as possible have a chance to receive a free gift box.

Please be aware that contributions to Operation Sauce Drop are not tax-deductible (there is too much red tape involved in trying to obtain tax-exempt status), BUT 100% of all contributions shall be used solely to pay for the gift boxes and ship them to our troops. We are not doing this to make money, but rather merely to thank our troops and make it easier for them to add a little zestiness to their meals.

On this September 11, when so many Americans perished back in 2001 in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, it seems only fitting to have a posting which supports a cause that’s truly American. We hope that you will consider donating to this worthy cause.
