Laguna Hills, Calif. - April 14, 2008 - American service members deployed across the globe will soon get a taste of home as they receive care packages courtesy of a California-based military school online.
Allied Schools recently collaborated with the non-profit organization Operation Military Pride, which has been helping to send care packages to deployed-service members since 1995.
Allied Schools sent out over 300 care packages containing in-demand items like sun screen, lip balm, beef jerky, Ibuprofen, breakfast cereal and hot sauce - products that service members in countries like Iraq have found to be especially helpful and comforting.
The care packages were filled and boxed up by Allied Schools' staff at their Southern California headquarters in mid-March and then sent overseas. Service members receiving the care packages will also have the opportunity to win a laptop computer each month until June.
"We've been fortunate to enroll over 10,000 service members in the last four years," said George Achenbach, president, Allied Schools. "The care packages are our way of saying 'thank you' to the men and women who serve this nation."
Allied Schools is a popular choice for active-duty service members because they can attend class from an overseas deployment simply by logging onto a computer; Allied offers both military and civilian students career training in the medical field, business and real estate. Allied also offers military education program that aid for military spouses in the form of no-charge training.
