PUTTING OUR SUPPORT INTO ACTION
We believe support goes beyond words. Through volunteerism, partnerships and nationwide participation, US Foods associates actively give back to the military community.
Operation Support Our Troops is a volunteer‑driven initiative led by our Those Who Serve EBRG. Associates assemble and deliver care packages to deployed service members worldwide—sending a powerful message that they are supported, appreciated and never forgotten.
US Foods also proudly participates in the Carry Forward 5K in partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project. Associates across the country walk, run or ruck to honor wounded veterans, raise critical funds and support programs that empower service members beyond the uniform.
