Vroom Foods, Inc. Sponsors Operation Gratitude
(PRWeb) December 20, 2025 -- Jason Kensey, president and owner of Vroom Foods, Inc. recently presented Operation Gratitude in Encino California with a donation of Foosh™ Energy Mints which will be included in the organization's Holiday Care Packages sent to individually named Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Sailors deployed abroad. Military personnel face many situations in which extended alertness is required. Each Foosh mint has 100mg of caffeine which gives an almost instant energy boost, as the caffeine is absorbed through sublingual infusion which is much quicker than digestion of energy drinks or pills. This makes Foosh an excellent addition to the care packages.
According to Ms. Carolyn Blashek, "We send a package to every service member whose name we receive; their names are sent to us by loved ones and comrades, but especially by the commanders and leaders in the field who see the positive impact our program has on the morale of their troops." To date, Operation gratitude has sent out over 190,000 care packages. This Holiday drive, Operation Gratitude will send over 50,000 packages to military personnel all over the world.
Operation Gratitude was founded after 9/11. Their mission is to lift troops' morale, and bring a smile to the faces of troops serving abroad by sending them individually addressed care packages. The care packages contain a variety of foods, entertainment items, personal care products and messages of appreciation. The packages are sent everywhere troops are deployed, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Africa, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Guantanamo Bay and ships in international waters
More information about Operation Gratitude can be found on their website at: http://www.operationgratitude.com. Contributions are gratefully accepted for their twice yearly drives. Check the wish list on their website for details.
Foosh™ Energy Mints are the creation of Vroom Foods, Inc., a Costa Mesa based company that also makes Buzz Bites™ Chocolate Energy Chews. Foosh Energy Mints are available nationwide. Each mint has 100 mg of caffeine, roughly the amount of a cup of coffee. They come in a pocket-sized blister pack, each containing six mints, or in 12 mint tins.
