4Patriots Donates Food to Food Banks in West Virginia, California
Recently I read a blog about whether a company should make announcements about its charitable giving.
On the one hand, it can look like that company is patting itself on the back for its generosity. On the other hand, those types of announcements increase awareness of the needs out there and perhaps influence other people to make donations.
The writer of that blog concluded that it is perfectly OK for a company to announce its charitable giving, as long as they keep the emphasis on the need and the recipients, and not on themselves. I felt good about that because that’s exactly what we have tried to do here at 4Patriots.
Recently we made emergency food donations to two organizations that are coming to the aid of people who have been negatively affected by water and fire.
In July 2016, flooding in West Virginia took the lives of 20 people and destroyed approximately 1,200 homes. We responded by donating a six-month supply of Food4Patriots survival food to Mountain Mission Inc.’s Flood Relief Donation Center.
That same month, wildfires burned more than 30,000 acres of land in California, taking two lives and destroying more than 100 structures, including homes. In response, we sent a three-month supply of our emergency food to the Community Action Partnership of Kern Food Bank.
We have no interest in patting ourselves on the back for these and other charitable donations we make. Our hearts go out to the people negatively affected by these disasters, and we want to help because we’re in a position to do so.
And as I’ve told you before, we’re only able to do this because of you. Your purchases of our products – including Food4Patriots – are what allow us to help people in need.
Thanks great, I wish more companies would follow your lead and help our country out instead of lining their own pockets. God Bless you and our great country!
Frank, I real happy and glad that you took my suggestion to share the food wealth. I don’t really know if it was my suggestion or your kind heart; but, GOD Bless you anyway.
If I may, I would like for you to consider doing the say for the fine folks in Tennessee near Dollywood. I’m know for a fact that the folks there really could use a hand up and their food bank there can be just the start that they will need since Christmas is just around the corner.
So what do you say? I’m willing to donate if you are. Shoot I would even be willing to purchase your fantastic Food4Patriots food to help them out. I am certain your other reads will also agree to do what they can too.
Please let me know. You have my e-mail address. Let make this happen. Your friend Cliff A.
I like the products I have gotten from you, but I hate even thinking of ordering anything else because of all the promotional spiel I have to listen to in order to get to the order page.
Please, put out a catalog of products and prices that we can choose from with out re-hearing the life story of the company

Thank you for donating to those in need. I feel every company that has the means to do so, should. So many do not. It is also heartwarming to see that customers of Food4Patriots help indirectly by their purchases to Food4Patriots. That makes one feel that have have contributed in some way even if they are not able to do so otherwise. Since I found Food4Patriots, and made my first transaction with them, I have come to love this company. F4P is very fair about everything that has to do with the company. I am very impressed with them. And, I am not one that is easily impressed. Nothing short of excellence from a company that has the word “Patriot” in it. They truly are Patriots, for Patriots.
Nice job all. Americans taking care of our own. No need for federal involvement when we take care of each other in need.
