Hi, I am a Soldier in Iraq. We Love Your Popcorn!!!! We Need Your Popcorn!!!! Every now and then we get care packages with [your] Popcorn. We love the Sweet taste of the Kettle Popcorn. The problem is we only had a couple of pack and it is gone. Now we are all craving it. Can you help us out? ~~ SFC Benjamin ——, Iraq.

Who does this? SupportOurTroops.org, the Boy Scouts of America, and Trail’s End^® Popcorn team up to pull this off yearly. Support Our Troops Chairman Martin C. Boire says “We are immensely grateful to the Boy Scouts of America, to Trail’s End, and to the general public, without which Operation Popcorn would not be possible. We especially commend the hard work and diligence of the Scouts who have helped us deliver millions of delicious popcorn treats to the men and women of the military over the last few years.”

Who manufactures it? Nothing but the best for our troops! Trail’s End Popcorn has been in partnership with the Boy Scouts of America for over 30 years, helping local councils raise the money they need to fund their programs. Produced by Weaver Popcorn Company, Inc., an 80-year old, family-owned company located in Indiana and one of the largest manufacturers of popcorn in the world, Trail’s End is committed to providing the healthiest, best-tasting snacks for Scouts to sell to their customers. All of Trail’s End snacks contain 0g trans fat, the microwave popcorn and cheese corn are made with canola oil, the caramel corn is naturally sweetened using tapioca syrup, and the chocolate snacks use no hydrogenated oils.

So where does all this popcorn come from? Only from you doing this!
