Stage, a clothing store in Jacksonville, is selling patriotic shopping bags to show support for military families. All of the proceeds will go to Operation Homefront, which provides financial assistance and support services to the families of U.S. soldiers.
The reusable bags cost $5 and feature a U.S. flag design with the slogan “Helping Our Military and Environment.” Cus-tomers who purchase the bag will receive a $5 discount on any item $25 or more.
Also, Stage now offers a 15 percent discount program for all active, inactive and retired service members with valid military ID.
“In every home town across our nation, we each know a family member or neighbor who is serving our country in the military. We are proud to show our support for these heroes and we encourage our customers to join us,” said Andy Hall, president and CEO of Stage Stores Inc.
Operation Homefront is a national nonprofit organization that provides military families with grocery-store gift cards, short-term transitional living, vehicles for those who can’t afford one and physical and emotional support for wounded soldiers and their families.
“Generous partners like Stage make it possible for Operation Home-front to provide vital aid to the families of military members and wounded warriors,” said Jim Knotts, president and CEO of Operation Homefront.
