BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In honor of Military Appreciation Month, Books-A-Million is once again partnering with Soldiers’ Angels for its celebrated Coffee for the Troops program, running Friday, May 3 – Saturday, June 1. The bookstore makes it easy for the community to gift the comfort of coffee to the brave soldiers fighting overseas as well as veterans and patients in VA hospitals all over the nation. Customers can participate in the program by purchasing and donating a bag of Joe Muggs coffee from any Books-A-Million location. For every five bags of coffee donated by customers, Books-A-Million will donate one.
“As we begin our 13th Coffee for the Troops campaign with Soldiers’ Angels, we encourage our customers to show their support to honor the brave men and women who serve our country,” said Matt Krenza, vice president of the food division at Books-A-Million. “Each year we are overwhelmed by the amount of generous donations we receive and are humbled to be able to offer the comfort and familiarity coffee brings to the soldiers fighting for our nation.”
