Holidays are right around the corner and as we enjoy each day with our family, there are many who are missing someone because they are abroad. We have gone through those days of missing my nephew when he was oversees or across the country. I could only imagined how much he missed all of us even though he was with his brothers and sisters in arms. There are so many things you miss when you are not home. We take “home” for granted and I’m happy to be a part of the Comforts From Home Project. 
This fall, Marie Callender’s announced the return of the Comforts from Home Project, a partnership with the United Service Organizations (USO) that’s dedicated to bringing the heartwarming feelings, flavors, and favorites of home to those who miss it most. One of the things missed most is home cooked meals, company, entertainment and a chance to relax away from the stress of active service. The program ensures that our troops have a place to celebrate every holiday, with or without their families, bringing the comforts of home to them.
The USO Operation Celebration program is dedicated to provide a “home away from home” for our deployed troops stationed around the world to make sure every holiday, small or large, is celebrated. This is also comforting for those of us at home. 
Marie Callender’s creates homemade meals and desserts that are fit to serve your family with high-quality ingredients and signature special touches. Take the extra time from cooking the meal and savor the time with your family. While you’re slowing down and having quality time with family you can also help bring the comforts of home to the brave men and women of the military by purchasing specially-marked packages of Marie Callender’s meals and desserts. 
Once you purchase the specially-marked packages, you simply go online and enter a code found on the back of the box. For each code entered Marie Callender’s will make a $.50 donation to the USO Operation Celebration program up to $300,000.
It’s time We Give Back to those who risk their lives for us everyday!

I just recently discovered Marie Callenders food, and I’m so glad I did! It’s delicious! I’m also very happy to hear about this program, and what they’re doing to support the troops!
I’ve always loved Marie Callender’s pies and now I love the company even more because they are giving back and helping support the USO. My heart goes out to all the service men and women who won’t be home for the holidays because they are serving and protecting us.
I love this so much. As the wife of a vet, the USO has a very special place in my heart.
I love that Marie Callenders supports our troops this way! My kids love their Chicken Pot Pies so I guess I’ll be purchasing some! 🙂 Talk about a win-win. My kids will be happy and I’ll be happy knowing that I did a little something extra to support our troops!
I think this is a wonderful initiative. I already buy lots of Marie Callender’s, but I’ll definitely e buying more, now.
Looks like a win/win. A good meal plus supporting the troops. How cool is that? Love it.
I’ve never had one of these meals but they look great. I especially love that they give back to the community and celebrating the most hardworking people in America.
ok, this is awesome! My brother is a serviceman and is currently deployed to rural AK. He’s used the USO services so many times, and I will be jumping at the chance to help this program!
I love that Marie Callender’s is doing this. It must be so hard to be away during the holidays.

I just got a huge pack of this… I agree, this is a great initiative 😀
Marie Callendar’s pot pies are so delicious. I’ll make a point of stocking up for the winter and entering the codes to help out the USO. It is definitely one of my favorite organizations, as they took away some of my homesickness when I was in Korea.
We love Marie Callenders, and it’s always great to get behind a great company that supports our troops. Definitely a great project!
There’s nothing like a nice Marie Callender’s pot pie. I’m glad we can support the USO by submitting codes!

I love Marie Callender pot pies. I will look for the one in support of our troops the next time I shop for them.
The Turkey Pot Pie looks really delicious. What makes it better is that ia also goes to a good cause which is the troops.
