Kroger Racing Gives Back to Veteran and Military Families in Orlando

In an incredible show of support for Veteran and Military families, Soldiers’ Angels teamed up with Kroger Racing, Bimbo Bakeries USA, and Kraft Heinz for an unforgettable event on August 23. Just ahead of the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at DAYTONA International Speedway, these organizations came together to provide groceries for 250 pre-registered low-income and at-risk Veterans and active-duty military families in the Orlando area.

The event featured NASCAR Cup Series driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr., representing Kroger and its partners. Stenhouse took time out of his busy race weekend to help distribute food and connect with the families in attendance. As the driver of the No. 47 Kroger/Biggie Muffins/Capri Sun Chevrolet Camaro, Stenhouse’s presence added extra excitement, especially ahead of his upcoming race at DAYTONA.

What made this food distribution event even more special for the Soldiers’ Angels team in Orlando is that it marked the second event of its kind for the month of August! Just one week earlier, on August 16, Soldiers’ Angels held its regular monthly food distribution, which also served 250 Veterans and Service Members.

In total, 500 low-income Military and Veteran families in the Orlando area received vital food assistance from Soldiers’ Angels in a single month!
