When Sarah Janssen first found out about the Truckers for Troops care package program, it’s safe to say she was excited. Her husband, Senior Master Sergeant in the Air Force Aaron Janssen, was recently deployed overseas, and Sarah was looking for a way to surprise him with a bit of home. And she found it through OOIDA. Sarah joins us to talk about the joy your donation can provide to our men and women serving our country from far away.

You’re far from home, sacrificing everything to protect the country when a 70-pound box of goodies arrives with your name on it. For nearly 20 years, OOIDA has been sending a piece of home to our troops stationed overseas. And from day one, Angel Burnell and Nikki Johnson have been a driving force behind the care packages. As we kick off our annual Truckers for Troops campaign, we look at how the care packages represent more than just home. They also represent the massive heart and kindness of the trucking community.

As we ramp up for next week's Truckers for Troops campaign, we’re going back to the archives to highlight one of the places your money goes: the Veterans Community Project. Yes, it’s a tiny home community for veterans who need a place to live while they get their lives back on track. But it’s also so much more, most notably a place to get help in any form it’s needed – no matter what, no questions asked. In an encore presentation, Chris Admire, executive director of the Veterans Community Project, explains why failure is not an option – and how that attitude informs every decision VCP makes.
