September 19, 2025 , Auburn Hills, Mich. – The Jeep brand and the USO (United Service Organizations) join forces at Stellantis North America headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan, to assemble holiday care packages for service members deployed overseas. On Thurs., Sept. 18, more than 300 Stellantis employees helped create 10,000 holiday care packages, which will be sent to U.S. troops overseas across 70 countries.
“Jeep was the original freedom machine, dating back to 1941 and World War II when Jeep 4×4 vehicles were heavily used by every division of the United States military and deployed to every infantry regiment in the U.S. Army, helping the allied forces win the war,” said Bob Broderdorf, Jeep CEO. “The Jeep brand’s legacy is literally built on freedom and adventure. U.S. service members will receive these reminders of home this holiday season, as many of them spend this special time of year away from loved ones in service to the U.S. Our employees volunteering their time to support the USO and our U.S. troops is a powerful way to say thank you to those who serve. It’s a small but impactful gesture that acknowledges their sacrifices, dedication and service to uphold the freedoms so dear to this country.”
“Today serves as a reminder of the Jeep brand’s unwavering commitment to patriotism,” said Ben Leslie, chief development officer, USO. “At the USO, we are deeply moved by Jeep’s consistent, life-changing contributions. The enthusiasm of this dedicated team to always rise to the occasion is truly inspiring. We are both humbled and immensely grateful for their continued partnership.”
The USO Care Package Program is designed to provide service members with a connection to home, and each package is designed to best suit the needs of military individuals. This year’s holiday care package includes the following items:
- Bag
- USO bandana/USO sticker and card
- HOIST hydration powder
- Toiletries
- Beef jerky
- Holiday candy and nuts
- Holiday socks
- USB-powered holiday lights
Service members will receive these reminders of home this holiday season, as many of them spend this special time of year away from loved ones in service to the U.S.
