5 Ways to Celebrate Month of the Military Child with Chocolate Bar Wrappers

There are millions of American service personnel in this country and many of them have families. That’s why each April, our country recognizes the Month of the Military Child. There are various ways to help military families during the 30-day long celebration. Here’s a look at five of them that involve chocolate bar wrappers:

#1: Care Packages for Active Duty

Creating care packages for military families and service personnel are one way to participate in the celebration. Families could be given camouflage chocolate bar wrappers outfitted with a photo featuring a particular unit. Active duty service personnel, on the other hand, could be sent chocolate wrapped with photos of their family members instead.

#2: Veteran’s Hospital Events

Because many of our service men and women come home injured, sending chocolate to Veteran’s hospitals would make a nice gesture too. That way, the medical social workers could hand out the chocolate to military children who may be visiting injured loved ones. Chocolate bar wrappers to consider using in this type of promotion are ones that offer a word of encouragement or thanks.

#3: VFW Fundraisers

Oftentimes, VFWs organize Month of the Military Child fundraisers. Well, one great way to raise money during those events is to sell candy. The candy could be personalized with chocolate bar wrappers featuring the VFW's contact information and details about the group’s fundraising cause.

#4: Volunteer Luncheons

During the month long celebration, it would also be nice to recognize volunteers who provide much needed assistance to military families. Fabulous ways to do that are hosting luncheons and handing out customized chocolate bars to attendees.

#5: School Assemblies

Lastly, educators may want to think about hosting Month of the Military Child assemblies. The chocolate bars could serve as invitations to the event or giveaways for the attendees. The assemblies themselves could feature musical tributes to military personnel, guest speakers and other fun activities.

Those are just five ways to host a Month of the Military Child event with chocolate bar wrappers. For more information and help selecting appropriate wrappers for your April celebration, please contact us at (800) 449-3948.
