Goods for the Good Guys

Goods for the good guys is a segment of our family business that we support through our business and from donations from individuals and businesses.

The owner of North40Sales launched this program with the intention to include a small token of our appreciation with every order that ships to the members of our Armed Services. While successful, it was not enough and we consulted with our family and restated the program's intended goals.

Once our family got involved, it really took off and the Goods for the Good Guys program as we know it today is something that we take a lot of pride in doing.  We prepare and ship care packages to our service members deployed overseas. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines, we have shipped to all branches. These items range from Cold Weather items, Food and Snacks, Personal Care Items, and Fun Items to help pass the down time.

We began collecting addresses from friends and family that had active duty deployed family members and the program was off and running.  When a name is added to our mailing list, that service member will receive a no-strings attached care package that can contain all sorts of things depending on what we have available. We've heard from our deployed soldiers that Girl Scout cookies, Beef Jerky, and books and current magazines are extremely popular. A ll that is included with the package is a simple letter explaining what the Goods for the Good Guys program is all about and that they are free to do whatever they wish with the items contained in the package.

I am former US Army and my son is active duty Marines and I am proud of all of our military members that put their lives at home on hold to answer the call to serve...so it is an honor to do something like the Goods for the Good Guys to make their time away from home a little bit easier.

This is a non-profit segment our our business and is our way to re-invest in our freedom that we enjoy today.
