Operation Christmas Cookie: 5 Years Spreading Holiday Cheer

The project has grown tremendously since its beginnings in 2007, “Operation Christmas Cookie” recently experienced its fifth year providing cookies, treats, and everyday essentials to U.S. soldiers overseas.

The founder of the program, Suzanne Fitzpatrick, has been very pleased with the positive response she has gotten from this project. She has welcomed more and more volunteers every year and the operation shows no signs of slowing down.

For the past two years, Food Packaging Warehouse has supported Suzanne with our popular plastic take out containers to package the cookies and treats.  These cookie containers are versatile and very spacious to fit a variety of about 18 cookies each.  They can also be shipped great distances while protecting and keeping the cookies fresh in transport.

This year, Food Packaging Warehouse decided to help Suzanne in her act of sharing a little piece of home by sending out a few boxes of our own.

“We want to show our support to our customers and to the troops around the world serving our country,” says Jeff Lukas, president of Packaging Resources Inc. FPW’s parent company. 

 

Food Packaging Warehouse team packaged the cookies with our clear hinged containers and ended up filling up four large boxes with containers of cookies, trail mix, and other essential items.

We hope to take part and support  Operation Christmas Cookie for many years to come. For more information on Operation Christmas Cookie and on ways to help care packages reach service men and women, contact Suzanne at sfitzpa774@gmail.com.
