Harry & David supports troops with candy campaign through July 4

Harry and David recently kicked off the 3rd Annual Support Our Troops with Moose Munch Bars campaign, which allows families, friends and supporters of the U.S. military to purchase the popular Harry & David Moose Munch treat and ship them to war zones for  enjoyment by men and women in service.

The leading gourmet gift retailer has once again teamed up with Soldiers’ Angels, a nonprofit agency that ships care packages to U.S. soldiers in combat, to deliver the sweet taste of chocolate to the troops. Last year more than 38,000 Moose Munch bars were shipped to soldiers in Afghanistan and other regions, through the campaign, which this year ends Monday, July 4.

Harry & David stores nationwide will offer customers the opportunity to purchase Moose Munch Bars and gift them to soldiers with a personalized greeting message. Each bar and note is packaged with a plastic spoon and boxed for pickup via Soldiers’ Angels. The 100-degree heat melts the signature chocolate, caramel corn and nuts confection into a lusciously gooey treat that makes it easy for soldiers to enjoy the sweet taste of home. With most perishable dessert items not capable of being sent into war zones, this program delivers happiness and a feel of home.  It’s been noted that Moose Munch Bars are one of the most requested items by soldiers serving in combat.

Moose Munch Bars retail for $2.50 each or $4 for two. For Harry & David store locations nationwide and for more information, visit www.harryanddavid.com.
