"We think a care package from home is a pretty simple,
yet powerful way to say thanks."
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - CCA, America's leader in partnership
corrections, is proud to be a dedicated supporter of our
active duty troops through its semi-annual Patriot Packages
campaign.
This month, CCA employees across the country are holding
collection drives to make good on the promise they're
behind our men and women in uniform serving abroad.
"When you're a long way from home, one care package
can make a world of difference," said Caryn Worthey, CCA
Employee Relations Coordinator. "These people are part
of our family, they are our loved ones, and to recognize
their sacrifice is an honor."
Now in its third year, CCA's Patriot Packages seeks to
reach out with care packages to employees, immediate family
members of employees and entire military units.
At the company's more than 60 facilities
nationwide, employees are donating snacks, toiletries, and
other items frequently requested. And the goal now is to send
enough to an employee or employee relative so that an entire
unit can share.
"There are plenty of ways to support our troops,"
said Worthey. "We think a care package from home is a
pretty simple, yet powerful way to say thanks."
Items for CCA Patriot Packages collected during the month of
October will be shipped from each CCA facility in November.
The hope is they will arrive on or near Veteran's
Day.
About CCA Patriot Packages Established in 2010, CCA Patriot
