***Carolina Sauce MATCHES 100% of all donations!!*** The mission of Operation Sauce Drop is to deliver great-tasting sauces to US military personnel stationed abroad, free of charge. Why are we doing this? Because we would like to thank our brave troops for their sacrifices with a small token of our appreciation, and perhaps a taste of home. We have assembled seven different themed gift boxes of sauces, from mild and zesty to hot and fiery, from which any serviceman or servicewoman stationed at an APO or FPO address may choose, and we will ship their choice of gift box to their APO or FPO address at absolutely no cost to them whatsoever. ***Due to the length of our waiting list, with some soldiers waiting for months for their free gift box, we regret that we are currently unable to accept any new requests for free gift boxes at this time. We hope to be able to accept new requests once we've received enough donations to have cleared our backlog of pending requests.*** The average cost to purchase and ship (with insurance) a gift box is around $20.00, and we have over 300 troops waiting to receive their gift box.

You can also support Operation Sauce Drop by purchasing any of the delicious products listed in our special section, "Shop Here to Support Operation Sauce Drop", made possible by the generosity of manufacturers who have donated these products to raise funds for Operation Sauce Drop. Operation Sauce Drop is a nonprofit program of Carolina Sauce Company. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of all donations are used SOLELY to pay for the gift boxes *at cost* and ship them to our troops. Please understand that Operation Sauce Drop is not a 501(c)(3) organization because the amount of red tape, paperwork, filing fees, legal and CPA expenses involved in trying to obtain official IRS tax-exempt status is prohibitive to a small family business like Carolina Sauce Company. However, Carolina Sauce Company does not make any money from Operation Sauce Drop - in fact, we donate a portion of the cost of each gift box and all the labor involved, AND as of July 4, 2008, Carolina Sauce is MATCHING 100% of all donations received. Please consider making a donation to this nonprofit effort, no matter how small - every little bit helps send a little taste of home to deployed servicemen and women. If you are unable to make a monetary donation at this time, but want to do something to help, then please tell your friends about Operation Sauce Drop, post the link on your blog or website or message board, and help spread the word so that we can send free sauce to as many military service personnel as possible. Thank you!
